I think a few movies were made, but obviously it went nowhere. The YouTube idea is interesting, but it sort of requires web video to start including longer form media rather than just short clips right? There's no technical reason it couldn't be done, but I just don't know if people are looking for that when they watch video on the web. Maybe they could just string all the existing YouTube videos into a CYOA. "Click here if you want the hero to get hit in the crotch with a flaming skateboard, or here if you want him to wander into a montage of adorable kittens" In the late 90’s I remember reading something about a company that was going to equip theaters with voting devices so the audience could vote on branching paths for films.
