Today's news story about Anna Popplewell being cast in an interactive movie got me thinking: what about interactive storytelling and The Chronicles of Narnia? Often creating a choose-your-own-adventure film experience, these types of films have been growing in popularity in recent years and have largely been championed by online streaming platforms.

While I don't know about choose-your-own-adventure being a good fit for Narnia ("To know what would have happened, child?") I am intrigued by the idea of perhaps choosing which narrative to follow. In Anna's upcoming project, the viewer chooses between a similar plot playing out with both a female and male protagonist in different eras. Being able to choose whether to follow from Shasta or Aravis's perspective in The Horse and His Boy, for instance, would be really neat, as long as they also had a linear version of the story available, too.
