get out and Nope director Jordan Pele has aspirations to take his storytelling skills beyond movies and into video games. Video games are an increasingly interesting medium, especially since they are still in their infancy and they make leaps forward every year. Storytelling has gone from things as simple as a small assortment of pixels traversing a 2D landscape on a screen, to fully-acted performances with rich themes, layered writing, and incredible characters filled with depth. Major Hollywood players are starting to take a prominent role in big games with stars like Kit Harrington, Keanu Reeves, Willem Dafoe, Elle Fanning and many others lending their talents to games over the past decade. It seems that some Hollywood directors also want to get into the video game industry.

While promoting the home video release of Nopescreenwriter and director Jordan Peele told ComingSoon.net that he aspires to make a video game. The the director recently did a podcast with Hideo Kojima where the two talked about storytelling, Metal Gear Solid, and more, and apparently Peele was also asked if Kojima would ever make a game. Noting his love for games, he told ComingSoon that he wanted to create one himself.

“It’s funny; [Hideo Kojima] asked the same thing, but absolutely,” Peele said. “I love games. I think they relate very much to storytelling in that I really believe the art form is about empathy. It’s about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and understanding what it can be like to be someone else. So yes, yes is the answer.”

Of course, Peele is a busy man and seems to have a lot of big ideas, so it’s unclear if that will ever happen. However, the idea of ​​him collaborating with Kojima on a storyline or creating his own horror game is definitely exciting. Maybe one day the opportunity will arise, but it will probably take some time before something materializes.
