Ready Player One to be directed by Steven Spielberg
 

It looks like Steven Spielberg, is gonna be directing a film adaption of Ready Player One.

Huh. Christopher Nolan was rumored to be looking at doing this one... not sure how I feel about the film without Nolan attached. Need more info.

I like the book and Nolan but he would've been a terrible fit for this movie.

I wonder if this ends up being one of the many movies that Spielberg attaches himself to only to back out.

Ready Player One to be in theaters on December 2017.

I am very curious how they're going to make this work.

A week or so ago it was announced that this will be one of the few Spielberg films without a John Williams score. Alan Silvestri will be writing the music to this one.

More like Reddit Player One.

This book is American Psycho "geek culture" edition. They should've gotten Christian Bale to do the audiobook in his Bateman voice.

Interesting, but I do prefer documentaries on video games. Still might be fun.

I'm only in for it to see Ultraman.

Here's the International Trailer

I'm interested to see what role the TMNT with play in this film. Perhaps just a few seconds in the background. I never read the book and only just heard about it today. Is that Leo in the photo?

Thanks. :tcouch:

How do these threads slip past me. :toops:

First trailer paused at one minute in and I think I see Freddy. But might have already been mentioned. :roll:

edit: delorean 1:45?

Yeah, Freddy's hard to miss. Will all of these "appearances" from pre-existing characters just sort of be like that? Just "Peekaboo" and then vaporized? If so I don't really see anything to get excited about here.

You can also spot Duke Nukem during that scene.

I would assume so?
But that's based on my having read the book several years ago, and not having a recollection of the tiny details.

What I'd be curious about is a list of Book Accurate references vs Movie Adaptation ones.

Like,

Yeah sounds about right. Sorta reminds me wheres Waldo. And as soon as the novelty wears off no more excitement. However right now I'm easily amused and do not expect much from this film.

A majority of the references in the book are from the 1980s but the movie seems to be strongly influenced by the 1990s as well. I wonder if they are just reaching out for a broader audience or it actually adds depth to the storyline....

Knowing Spielberg, we will get a lot of 80s references and so on, If it wasnt for him, We never would've gotten the Looney Tunes and Disney characters together in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

This poster appears to have a mistake, his one leg appears too long.

This very much feels like a Spielberg movie, don't understand all the shade it's getting from mainstream geek outlets.

Ernest Cline pointed out that the Poster has the same composition, and color scheme as the ET Poster.

The trailer was accidentally posted by a Latin American Warner Brothers YouTube before it was taken down, someone on reddit manage to record it.

...huh.

Not quite sure how I feel about that yet.

This looks great, I can't believe there are so many movies that look awesome that I'm interested in coming out and yet no one cares.

It really does, I hope it's good. This trailer gives us a lot more details about the story and I like where it seems to be going so far

The trailer is filled with tons of Easter Eggs and References, here's the two that I found, Tracer and Chun-Li

Here is it officially

There are so many characters in this one spot, can you spot any of them, I can see the Battletoads.



Here's Blanka from Street Fighter.

Here's a video with all the Easter Egg and References they could find so far, there's a lot of them.
