No this makes sense. With streaming content growing in popularity and movie theater experiences declining, it's a logical evolution. Kids today are more interested in watching things on their devices, and this is a stab at defining the future…it's only a matter of time, folks. This may not succeed, but it's not as foolish as you seem to think.

Or it will be Jumanji meets Groundhog Day with the characters being aware they are acting out a story and that they possess the ability to re-direct/unwind/rewind/reset/whatever. Not all that tough to imagine actually. If done right it could be a hit and Playlist will be raving about it becoming the surprise hit of the year like this sneaky article never happened.

Choose Your Own Adventure books were great fun, but they were basically REALLY low-tech video games, allowing you constant choices about how to proceed. You're right, a movie of them defeats the purpose.

Wasn't Francis Ford Coppolas Twixt originally conceived as sort of conceptually choose your own adventure? I remember reading somewhere he was originally going to tour that movie and the cut that would screen would depend of the audiences reactions to certain sections. Anyways I'm sure this will suck because it's a studio tentpole but I think there exists out there somewhere an interesting way to do this concept on film
