Bandersnatch, the recent interactive Black Mirror film that had people messing up its protagonist’s life with their choices, has brought Netflix some trouble in the form of a lawsuit regarding similarities with Choose Your Own Adventure books.

 

Chooseco LLC have filed a complaint alleging that the streaming giant is using associations with its book series to promote the film, reports The Guardian.

 

The company has also claimed that viewers have been confused about the link between the film and the books – which the main character briefly mentions to his dad – and, as a result, that its reputation has been damaged.

 

The complaint adds that Chooseco has been in negotiations with Netflix “for a number of years” about issues related to its brand.

I thought the film was crap although I did enjoy seeing the 80's again. I will admit I didn't watch it in interactive mode as it wasn't available on the streaming site I was using.
