Way back in November 2010 Christopher Nolan expressed a desire to work on a video game set in the Inception universe saying that the medium of video games were "Something I've wanted to explore".
When it comes to video games and movie directors there are two schools of thought. One is that we should fawn all over them and lick their boots because they're big time movie makers deigning to lower themselves enough make a kids toy. The second view is that we shouldn't give them any attention because they are MOVIE makers. Not game makers.
In this instance I take a third view. I am very interested partly because Inception was a very good movie, but mostly because video games are just a medium in which to tell a story, and Nolan is an expert storyteller. He has said it will be a long term project and he's going to take his time with it. Once again, this is great. It's not a rushed film adaptation, it's a serious product by a mature story-teller who is giving the medium of video games the respect it deserves. We'll just have to wait and see.
