Dan Trachtenberg explains why his latest video game project is a dream come true
We’ve seen plenty of stars from film and TV winging it when they accept a paycheque to work in video games. Even the best actors can struggle to convince us that their excitement about a project is genuine (in some cases, they don’t bother trying). Dan Trachtenberg, director of 10 Cloverfield Lane, Black Mirror episode Playtest and the pilot for Amazon anti-superhero series The Boys, does not have to pretend. For a man whose career has been informed by videogames even before No Escape – his dazzling short film based on Valve’s Portal – first brought him to Hollywood’s attention, his latest project was something of a dream gig. In fact, Trachtenberg’s new six-minute cinematic intro to Digital Extremes’ F2P shooter Warframe, unveiled at the studio’s Tennocon event in July, came about after he approached the developer rather than the other way around.
