Next stop: An interactive Twilight Zone reboot from the director of BioShock
The Twilight Zone is set to travel through another dimension—a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of vague interactivity. According to The Wrap, CBS and Interlude, a media company that specializes in “interactive video,” have plans to revive the classic TV series in a new format where viewers will be able to affect how the story plays out. From the sounds of it, the details of how that will work are still in the planning phases, but Interlude’s past projects aren’t exactly a font of interactivity. The company’s technology is behind videos such as this alternate take on the ”Hulk vs. Ant Man” Coke commercial, where you can click on the screen to switch between a view of the heroes going at it and a dude who’s acting out the scene with his action figures. Others, like this elaborate Dos Equis ad, ask viewers to choose between a few different paths before the story moves forward.
