\n\tMatt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the filmmaking team known as Radio Silence<\/a>, will bring \u201cChoose Your Own Adventure,\u201d the popular children\u2019s gamebook series, to the big screen for 20th Century Studios. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe duo will work with \u201cAndor\u201d and \u201cThe Disaster Artist\u201d screenwriter Tom Bissell on the project. The books were nonlinear and allowed readers to select a series of different narrative options that would allow them to determine how the plot of a story would unfold. At a time before video games had come of age, the interactivity seemed revolutionary. The novels were a big hit with readers, selling more than 250 million copies between 1979 and 1998. It\u2019s appropriate that 20th Century Studios is bringing this to cinemas because that\u2019s around the era when the books were at their zenith.<\/p>\n

\n\tBettinelli-Olpin and Gillett helped bring the \u201cReady or Not<\/a>\u201d films to the big screen, though the franchise sputtered out when its most recent entry, \u201cReady or Not 2: Here I Come\u201d whiffed at the box office. They also helped rejuvenate the \u201cScream\u201d franchise, overseeing the popular fifth and sixth films in the series. Radio Silence gained attention after directing segments\u00a0of 2012\u2019s\u00a0\u201cV\/H\/S.\u201d Next up is a new installment in\u00a0\u201cThe Mummy\u201d\u00a0franchise, that will see original stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return as an tomb raiding couple. Radio Silence is represented by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole. <\/p>\n

\n\tBissell is the author of 11 books. He also co-created the Apple TV+ series \u201cThe Mosquito Coast,\u201d and worked on such video games as the fourth and fifth installments of \u201cGears of War\u201d and \u201cUncharted 4.\u201d He is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, and Yorn Levine.<\/p>\n
