> Or a different style of movie. Remember the old Choose Your Own Adventure books? Imagine, if you will, that the movie has been made with a story tree, and that patrons can vote on the next action, after the movie goes on for a while. This has already been done with some movies. However, there are problems with this idea which should be easy to think up, even for someone who's never heard of this concept. Having to extend the production time due to more story than will show in one playing springs readily to mind. :)

In the 50's, there was a movie (the name completely escapes me) that was a Choose Your Own Adventure Movie. Not exactly, though. It was a "choose who you want to DIE next" movie. Basically, you were given a story, and periodically, the movie paused, and you voted on who you wanted dead. Of course, the characters were written in such a way that is was impossible to NOT hate the characters you wanted them too. This made it possible for the movie director to make it SEEM like the decision is yours, and it made it very uncomplicated to direct. Interesting. . .
