A source at Reality Jockey, the powerhouse behind the RjDj iPhone app, has told Wired.co.uk that it is working with Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer on a new “augmented sound project” based on the Inception soundtrack.

The software will squeeze the music through different “dreams” (filters) depending on the location, time, date and activity of the user. “There are dreams that are only played once a month on full-moon nights, or when the weather is bad, or when someone is traveling at more than 120mph....”

I'm going to hope it's better than the film (I know - arguments coming): Christopher Nolan Wants Inception Videogame | GameLife

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.

Inception might be one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, but do you know what Christopher Nolan's film is actually about? No. Nobody does. All anyone has to go on is some waffle about "the architecture of the mind", a trailer where Leonardo DiCaprio gets flung about to the sound of a water buffalo being trapped in a metal dustbin, and a vague hunch that it has something to do with dream thieves, like a sort of cross between Nightmare On Elm Street and Spooks....

Inception: Viral Update - ahh the ARG campaign doesn't seem to be all sticky goodness

Media_httpwwwmovievir_cdkae

When a viral campaign jumps out of the starting gate in a hurry, we get upset due to the high peak followed by a drop. Then, you have the complete opposite where a campaign just does nothing. So what happens when viral starts off leaving you guessing, followed by a continuous stream of confusing updates? Yes. We complain. That is exactly what seems to be happening with the marketing strategy for Inception. It’s doing everything right, yet at the same time, it’s starting to piss people off. Read more to find out why.

One can look at the viral for Inception as doing nothing wrong. How could it. It’s following the rules and doing what a viral campaign does. It has everything. It has games that make you think. It has viral videos. It has a “product”. It has the good guys. And now, thanks to our friends at FirstShowing, it has those that oppose. What more could you ask for? Well, for starters, how about explaining exactly what it is that we are even looking at....
