Movie Specific Anti Cell Phone Theater Ads?

We’ve seen the ads asking us not to use our cell phones in the movie theater before the movie plays, but are they too generic? How about ads to go with each specific movie, or at least each genre? Like for example, for a shoot-‘em-up action movie, someone could be shown on the phone during the movie, and the gun-wielding assassins & heroes walk out of the screen and all shoot the person with the phone. And for a zombie movie, the zombies could lumber down the aisle and eat the person on the phone. And for a vampire movie, we see vampire hunters about to stake a vampire, but someone on the phone distracts them, and they jump off the screen and drive the stake through their heart as the vampire applauds them. You get the idea. When are we going to see this sort of thing? It might get a roar of approval from the audience.
