Christopher Nolan has expressed a wish to take his mind-bending heist thriller "Inception" into the video game realm.

 

Talking with Variety, the British filmmaker says developing a videogame based on the world of the film would allow him to explore "ideas that you can't fit into a feature film".

 

Like the film though, it will take some time - "That's something we've been talking about and are looking at doing long term, in a couple of years" says Nolan.

I think that this would be an interesting concept as a game. I'd buy it.

We have confirmation!

 

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nolan has the following to say:

 

“I always imagined Inception to be a world where a lot of other stories could take place. At the moment, the only direction we’re channeling that is by developing a videogame set in the world.”

 

Nolan wouldn't name any developer or publisher involved with the game, and said the project is "a longer-term proposition.” Based on his statements, it sounds like Nolan is much more interested in making an Inception game rather than a movie sequel.

 

“As for sequels," Nolan says, "it’s not something I want to say no to, but it’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought about.”
