Inception star Cillian Murphy is set to star with Thandie Newton in new movie The Retreat, according to US reports.

The 34-year-old Irish actor, who is starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Christopher Nolan’s new flick, will start filming the new feature later this year in Wales.

He will play the husband of Thandie Newton’s character in the movie, which has already seen Sony Pictures take its UK rights.

According to movie website Deadline, the pair will play a married couple who rent an isolated island cottage to try and repair their marriage.

But one day they find a man in a biohazard suit washed up on the shore near their house and he tells them that everybody on the mainland has been killed by a virus.
