I'm pretty sure that I've read story versions of something like this. A bit of Philip Dick and James Morrow, maybe. Oh, also, Greg Egan and Vernor Vinge (in The Cookie Monster) have both explored the physics of virtual environments.
Still, I think it's an area that could use a good thorough treatment.
I have read these sorts of stories too - most recently Charlie Stross, whose "Accelerando" indirectly deals at one point with humans that have been resurrected en masse from history, reincarnated onto artificial continents over Saturn. They get a very frank FAQ about where and what they are once they come around, though. I can't recall a film-length story when someone gets the whole "Welcome to heaven! You made it!" business and they're like "wait what".
The Cookie Monster would also make a great movie, too.
