Recently, Jonathan Nolan, the brother of Christopher Nolan and co-writer of several of his brother’s movies, opened up about his fondness for video games, crediting Bethesda’s first Fallout game, released in 2008, with igniting his passion. Ahead of the upcoming release of Amazon’s Fallout TV series, Jonathan, the show’s Executive Producer, revealed an interesting detail about his history with the franchise, mentioning that his intense fascination with Fallout 3 may have contributed to the delay of The Dark Knight Rises.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Nolan disclosed that he took a break from writing films for two years due to his immersion in Fallout 3, emphasizing that he was “in the mood for a distraction” during that period.
