It seems like everyone wants in on the choose your own adventure model after the success of last years Bandersnatch.
Next to join the craze is Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl) as Collider reports today that the well-known horror director will be taking on a “haunted house movie” for Amblin Partners.
Apparently not wanting to be left out of anything haunted house-related, the new movie will also be written by Netflix’s own Haunting of Hill House scribe Jeff Howard, and be based off an idea from Hill House creator Mike Flanagan.
Most importantly is that this isn’t a project made for Netflix, and will actually be an interactive theatre experience, with the audience voting on an app to alter choices within the movie.
Collider details,
“To develop the project, Amblin Partners is working with Kino Industries’ CtrlMovie technology, which empowers filmmakers to create a branched narrative, interactive feature films that allow audiences to influence the storyline. Using an app on their cell phones, audience members will be able to vote in the theater to decide what characters will do at pivotal points in the narrative, meaning that Aja’s film will have a different plot, ending and even running time depending on the audience’s choices.”
