Radio Silence Duo To Direct Choose Your Own Adventure Movie

You are a visitor to the Empire website. You are here for some exhilarating movie news. You must find a buzzy announcement regarding two in-demand filmmakers and a globally beloved book series they are set to adapt. If you decide to go with this article’s gimmick, read on. If you think it’s already run its course, read on anyway because it’s actually pretty frigid news. Yes, as you may have figured out, Deadline is reporting that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett — aka Ready Or Not and Abigail directorial duo Radio Silence — are tackling a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ adaptation at 20th Century Studios.

Created by Edward Packard back in 1979 and comprising, in its original run, 184 books in which readers could become hyperspace travellers, Cold War spies, ghost hunters, and even monsters, the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ series is, by nature, a source of infinite storytelling possibilities. As such, we have no plot information on Gillet and Bettinelli-Olpin’s movie, and couldn’t even hazard a guess as to what they might have in store. What we do know however is that the duo will be working from a script penned by Andor and The Disaster Artist scribe Mike Bissell, and that we’ll likely have a little bit of a wait on our hands before this one reaches our screens: Radio Silence are currently difficult at work preparing to bring back The Mummy (no, not the Lee Cronin one, or the Tom Cruise one — the proper one!)

Given the cultural influence of ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ on everything from video games like Life Is Strange, The Walking Dead, and Detroit: Become Human to Netflix’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, The Daniels’ Possibilia, and much more besides, the prospect of Radio Silence heading back to the source and doing their thing is very exhilarating. If you agree, proceed to get hyped. If you disagree, leave this page forever — we thank you for your click. The End.
