In the late 2007, Marr's daughter Sonny performed backing vocals on the track "Even a Child" on [[Crowded House]]'s album ''[[Time on Earth]]'', on which her father Marr played guitars. He played a large role in making the score for the 2010 [[science fiction film|science-fiction]]/[[drama film|drama]] film ''[[Inception]]'', which was written and directed by [[Christopher Nolan]]. Using a 12-string-guitar, he produced repetitive, simple melancholic tones that became a character theme for the protagonist, played by [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. "I kept coming up with this phrase 'churned-up,'" Marr said, "You've got this character who all the way through the film has this underlying turmoil." Longtime Nolan collaborator, composer [[Hans Zimmer]], penned the soundtrack.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Martens|first=Todd|title=Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr talk about the sad romance of ''Inception''|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=20 July 2010|url= http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2010/07/inception-christopher-nolan-the-smiths-johnny-marr-hans-zimmer-and-johnny-marr-on-the-sound-of-inception-its-about-sadness.html|access-date=20 July 2010}}</ref> Marr has been working since 2007 with Fender to develop and design his own guitar.
