Do you remember those books were you got to choose what happened next and then jump from one page to the other? I used to love those books as a kid, the name of those type of books in Spain was literally "choose your own adventure", quite appropriate! It was like having 100 books in one and YOU got to decide what happened next: slay the dragon? save the princes? steal from a beggar? God they were brilliant... (I wander if they still publish them, I might get some for my niece).
The mix of these memories with the memory of a fantastic fiction movie: Brazil spawned this idea. Brazil is a terrific movie by Terry Gilliam from the Monty Python´s. One of the things that makes this movie special is that it has many endings... quite a few endings which are shown consecutively to the viewer, one after the other.
Now the idea: Why not have 100 stories in one on a film and either A) Let the viewer choose what happens next, or B) Randomly select the sequence that would follow.
Wouldn´t it be radical to go to the cinema to see a movie recommended by a friend and end up seeing something totally different?
I hope the guys at Paramount or Metro are not following my blog... They might steal (yet another) brilliant idea.
Enjoy life!
