Inception director Christopher Nolan hopes to create a videogame based on his cerebral sci-fi film, Variety reported Tuesday.

"(What) we are looking at doing is developing a videogame based on the world of the film, which has all kinds of ideas that you can't fit into a feature film," he said during a press conference in Rome.

Inception was Nolan's follow-up to his hit Batman sequel, The Dark Knight. Released in July to positive reviews, the mind-bending movie about dream hijackers has grossed more than $750 million worldwide.

Many critics noted Inception's adherence to the laws, logic and imagery of videogames – particularly the flick's climactic action sequence, which looked like a level cribbed straight out of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The planned videogame is still on the horizon. Nolan said plans are all "long term," meaning it'll probably be several years before an Inception game sees the light of day.
