Wikipedia says Nolan almost ditched the Piaf song when Cotillard was cast. Tim Send a noteboard - 22/07/2010 09:38:56 AM
But Hans Zimmer, who was writing the score, persuaded him to keep it. Probably a good thing, too, as it's so well chosen to fit in with the themes of regret. It seems Nolan thought the connection would be a distraction, which it totally wasn't.

The info came from an LA Times interview with Zimmer, linked below.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.
