Overview
- Deadline reported Thursday that 20th Century Studios has tapped filmmaking duo Radio Silence to direct and produce a feature adaptation of the Choose Your Own Adventure series.
- Tom Bissell is set to write the screenplay and brings experience in nonlinear storytelling from credits on Andor and major video games such as Uncharted 4.
- The project is in very early development with no plot revealed, no decision on whether a specific book will be adapted, and no release timetable announced.
- Radio Silence are best known for genre hits including Ready or Not and the recent Scream films and are also attached to a new The Mummy installment, which may affect this film’s timing.
- The Choose Your Own Adventure franchise began in 1979, sold about 250 million copies and spans roughly 184 core titles, and adapting its interactive choices poses technical and legal challenges illustrated by past screen experiments like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.
