A movie pipe dream

dk

It is pretty common for video games to have three or four different endings depending on choices and actions made during the game- gives some good replay value too.

How about this-

Apply that principal to a movie. At key points, you choose whether someone opens a door or moves on, affecting how things play out later. This would of course require the movie crew to film every conceivable scene- but it could could make for some interesting viewing experiences for the audience. If I have thought of it, someone has probably done it.

What do you think?

Something Real

DK - As much as I would like that, I would also be displeased by it. We must have lines upon which we see our films - so that we are inspired to write and create what we want in future presentations. :)

Good point. I think it works well for games but for movies, it might dilute the writers' vision.....unless they specifically write for that purpose.

DK - Quite so! However, your notion is not without its merits! It is quite compelling. :)

It would be an ambitious project. I would imagine it done on an indie level first. There would also be the challenges of having it be stream-able with almost no latency.

DK - That would likely be a programming nightmare! :)

Didn't they try something like that on DVD can't remember the theme though. Great idea really. Like playing dragons lair in the 80s that was a game trying to be a cartoon. U could have it in film. I still thinks it comes under gaming some what? Get the Commodore 64 out anyways bubble bobble or way of the exploding fist? I'm in
