He's Climbin' in Your Dreams, Snatchin' Your Secrets Up

As excited as every gamer and comic book fan are about the announcement of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy-concluding Batman flick, Dark Knight Rising, Nolan himself has some aspirations in tackling a different project altogether—with a newly confirmed Inception video game.


Read more after the break!


In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nolan confirmed that video games were always, "something I've wanted to explore,” and with the mind-blowing success of this year’s Inception, why not branch out into other entertainment mediums? Many movie-goers have expressed that they felt as though Inception’s plot and cinematography could be conducive to a gaming revamp, as many of the elements of the movie were akin to those of popular action/espionage games. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to play as Dom Cobb, gallivanting through dreams, stealing secrets and eventually performing the inception itself?

 While a game rework of the movie’s plot would certainly be entertaining enough to play through, Nolan isn’t necessarily limiting the plot lines of his game to those laid down in the film. “[I have] always imagined Inception to be a world where a lot of other stories could take place.” This could mean the production team introduction a completely new story and set of characters into the Inception-verse altogether.

 Though the game does have a committed team working on its development, Nolan is (as always) being extremely tight with details. One of the admissions he has given however, is that him and his production team, “…are looking at developing a videogame based on the world of the film, which has all kinds of ideas that you can't fit into a feature film.” Although sometimes cryptically vague with details, Nolan has proven time and again that the wait for his projects is well worth the reward.

 How long of a wait are we looking at? "[The Inception game] is something we've been talking about and are looking at doing long term, in a couple of years," says Nolan. As soon as more information about this project is released, we’ll be sure to cover it; but for now, we’ll have to settle for the Inception DVD that went on sale today.

I didn't know they were working on a game. That would be pretty cool if they made it another story or very sandboxy. it will be interesting to see what they decide to do with this

That sounds like a tremendous challenge to make a game that would compete with the movie or to even make a game that can even be sized up to such a epic story. Either way I CANNOT wait to see the end result! =D

i loved this movie! i bet this would be a great game to play. I think it would be sweet if they made it a little bit like "little big planet" to where u can almost create your own levels and then you could play online, and go into other peoples dreams. But yea sounds like a great game!
