Probably not, as the question is stated, but methinks it would be a useful 
counterpoint, as it’s basically the reverse: the filmic world enters and then 
overtakes the reality of the character in the diegetic ‘real’. Of course there 
are any number of narratives where one or more characters from a fiction within 
a fiction leavew the filmic world and enter the primary ‘real’, but that’s not 
the inverse of the query, really. In Videodrome, it’s more a full world 
takeover, for Max anyway.

I can’t think of any other similar examples at the moment. Can anyone else?
