Can film combined with interactive role?

There are so many films about video games and there are so many video games based on films. It is clear that computer and video games are working to remediate film. 

Some of the straightforward of remediation in Hollywood being calls as “repurposing”, they using the character from the film transferring to video games, for example, with The Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson, 2001, 2002, 2003) and Harry Potter (Chris Columbus, 2001, 2002; Alfonso Cuarón, 2004; Mike Newell, 2005; David Yates, 2007). Some of the characterization and plot are being borrowed from the video games. Also film respond to the challenge of digital media. In sometimes that filmmakers will reuse the characters and background story from the some of the  successful video games, such as Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, and Resident Evil.

In general terms, that the films are important to remediation by digital media, films and video games are hugely popular and economically important, they are defining the important that the nature of visual story are based on the experiences of digital formats. Games are not narratives in the strict sense which means that games are not generally have an explicit narrator or implicit narrative voice. Most genres of games are based on a story, although not narrative in the strict sense, otherwise it will being conflict between narrative and the quality of “interactive.” Films are narratives in the strict sense, which needs are story based also have an explicit narrator or implicit narrative voice tell the story, but films can borrow the characterization and plot from the games.

Absolutely, Filmic narrative is successfully combined with an interactive role, filmmakers can borrow the characterization and plot from many other place like video games, and the combination  is still be recognised as film. Also sometimes video games can also combined with films.
