Christopher Nolan, known for his work on the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, and this year’s Tenet, will be a presenter at The Game Awards this Thursday alongside other film industry stars, possibly hinting towards involvement in future games projects.
Christopher Nolan is widely known in the film industry for his exceptionally influential movies by introducing unique and intelligent ideas. His works and their ideas are often debated and recognized by critics for their pull of interest into complex philosophical questions and heavily researched scientific topics. Nolan is currently known as one of the most accomplished living filmmakers, with some of his works being considered “masterpieces.” Earlier this year, Warner Bros. released Nolan’s film Tenet, which is the fourth highest-grossing film of 2020.
Earlier today, Canadian games journalist and host Geoff Keighley announced that Christopher Nolan would be one of the presenters at The Game Awards on Thursday night, citing him as a “storyteller who transcends mediums.” Nolan will be presenting an award, but specifically which award he will give away has yet to be announced. Considering the astounding direction, narrative, and design, and scores found in his films, that leaves many possibilities open for Game Awards categories.
Noting Nolan to “transcend mediums” is both an accurate description considering what the film director has accomplished this year, such as partnering with Epic Games and Keighley to screen his films in Fortnite, but also leads some to believe this hints towards future involvement in video games. While nothing has been teased in terms of surprising announcements at The Game Awards, it’s not a stretch for Nolan to get involved with gaming. In the past, Nolan has expressed major interest in developing an Inception-based video game. In past interviews, Nolan also noted the influence that gaming puzzles and tutorials have had on Inception and Interstellar.
That being said, The Game Awards has already brought on the help of other film industry stars to present awards, so it doesn’t necessarily mean anything major is in store. Alongside Christopher Nolan, Wonder Woman actress Gal Godot, Spider-Man star Tom Holland, and Captain Marvel actress and Animal Crossing: New Horizons enthusiast Brie Larson have all been confirmed as presenters at The Game Awards.
While this may not hint at any big plans for Nolan’s involvement in the games industry, this could be part of Keighley’s push to make video games a more established and respected art form by creating the Oscars of video games. When asked by a Twitter user why Game Awards is choosing to “hire celebrities” over promoting the industry itself, Keighley responded that they are “giving us their time and joining the show to salute these incredible creators.”
