When it comes to film, director Christopher Nolan is famously old school about some things (shooting on film, practically, theatrical exclusivity). Still, he is also willing to try various things from embracing IMAX cameras early to other storytelling modes.
Recently games journalist Geoff Keighley sat down with the filmmaker whose most recent movie “Tenet” recently hit home video. During the interview, Nolan revealed he would like to see his films adapted into video games on the condition they offer a fresh approach rather than be just a quick cash tie-in:
“It’s definitely something I’m interested in. It’s an amazing world. You don’t want to just be doing a licensed game. You don’t want to just be tying into something and using the brand established by the film. Same way actually you don’t want to when you do a film adaptation from a video game, you don’t want it to just draft off the brand. You want it to be something great.”
The only Nolan film to date with a video game adaptation was “Batman Begins,” that title epitomised a quick cash-in work and scored mixed reviews.
It’s Nolan’s original works through from “Inception” to “The Prestige” to “Interstellar” and even “Tenet” that could offer potentially interesting video game versions.
