While it’s not known which gaming genre Dan would be interested in tackling, the 35 year old filmmaker did state that this was a conversation he had already begun with a select few people. Trachtenberg is an avid gamer, and talked of how much he binged on video games once 10 Cloverfield Lane wrapped up, specifically namedropping Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch as his current games of choice.
Here’s what the young director had to say about the changes regarding him eventually developing a videogame:
Diving into more specifics, Dan responded quite positively in regards to if he would ever consider working in the realm of virtual reality. He admitted that he garnered no enjoyment from horror games, despite his tendencies in film to lean towards scarier projects, and that games like BioShock 2 (which isn’t exactly the most horror-filled title) had actually stressed him out to play. Whether this means he would refrain from developing such a game from a creative standpoint, though, remains to be seen.
This wouldn’t be Trachtenberg’s first foray into the realm of gaming, as he had previously put in some highly polished work to direct a short film adaptation of Portal called Portal: No Escape. Since the director has already started branching out to a few people, it seems like things are in motion for Trachtenberg to eventually try his hand in the realm of game development.
In any event, the director admits that he’ll likely have to produce a few more movies before he gets a chance to enter the videogame industry, so curious gamers will have plenty of time to contemplate what kind of game Trachtenberg could cook up.
