Choose Your Own Adventure movie

I was on the Internet the other day and came across an article about a Choose Your Own Adventure movie. Apparently a deal is in the works to adapt the Choose Your Own Adventure book line into a movie.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, the writers of Fox’s Night at the Museum are negotiating to write the script. Also supposedly Rawson Marshall Thurber, the director of Dodgeball, has already signed the deal to direct the movie.

            This interested me for a couple reasons. First, obviously this relates to our class as we just finished reading House of Danger. Secondly, I’m very interested to see how (and if) they decide to turn this line of books into a movie. In class we discussed how the pretext says the adventure is completely your choice, but that really isn’t true. It is important to note thought that there is at least some decision-making that occurs when reading the book. If they make a movie, I can’t imagine how they could manage to include any aspect of choice. This means that the title “Choose Your Own Adventure” would apply even less to the movie than it did to the books. However if the movie does come out, I’m sure there will be people that enjoy it and completely buy into the idea. If you want to read more information see the links below.
