20th Century Fox is teaming with interactive film company Kino Industries for an adaptation of the classic 1980s book series Choose Your Own Adventure, with the studio licensing Kino’s CtrlMovie technology to allow in-theater audiences to control the action on screen.
According to Variety, audiences will be able to use Kino’s app on their smartphone in order to vote on what characters will do at pivotal points in the movie, altering the plot, ending, and even the film’s running time with seamless transitions between scenes.
“Bringing game changing, innovative technology to audiences and enhancing the cinematic experience has always been a cornerstone of the Twentieth Century Fox brand and our next venture is the outstanding CtrlMovie technology we are utilizing for Choose Your Own Adventure,” said Chris Aronson, 20th Century Fox’s president of domestic distribution. “This interactive experience, and the passionate, creative team behind this project, allow the true spirit of the beloved book series to fall into the hands of fans around the world.”
Choose Your Own Adventure is currently in development and is being produced by John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions, and Shannon Gilligan of book publishers Chooseco.
