Christopher Nolan has refused to completely rule out revisiting Inception for a sequel.
Nolan, who wrote and directed last summer’s Leonardo DiCaprio thriller, said that he has “always liked the potential of the world” he created.
“It’s an infinite, or perhaps I should say an infinitesimal world that fascinates me,” Nolan told Deadline. “At the moment, we’re exploring a video game, which is something I’ve been very interested in doing for a number of years. This lends itself nicely to that.”
The filmmaker explained that, although Inception was designed as a one-off film, he doesn’t know where his “creative interests” will take him in the future.
“As far as sequels go, I think of Inception as one film, but that’s how I approach all my films,” he commented. “When I was making Batman Begins, I certainly didn’t have any thoughts of doing a second Batman film, let alone a third.
“You never quite know where your creative interests are going to take you, but when I was making Inception I viewed it as a stand-alone movie.”
