Production is underway with shooting taking place in Pittsburgh, New York, Los Angeles, India, England and Scotland.
Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Charles Roven are producing.
The film is scheduled for a July 20, 2012, release date.
Modine will be seen playing former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain in the upcoming HBO film "Too Big to Fail."
Conti, an Oscar nominee for 1983's "Reuben, Reuben," was recently in Julie Taymor's "The Tempest."
