How is this not a major discussion?! Steven Spielberg to direct Ready Player One? I might have a meltdown, this is the best news in months! I sincerely hope they get all/most of the licences for the iconic movie/game characters that are present in the book. Either way I'm still gonna love it!

I don't know. We probably all read the book and are wondering how Hollywood will botch it up 🙂

It's probably going to be a Percy Jackson movie. where the book was pitched at people in their 30s-40s due to the 1980's references.

Part of me hopes that they stick to all the 1980's references, using old consoles and computers with all those old classic games etc. It might see a resurgence in 1980s pop culture. Given the content of the book, wouldn't that be funny?


Licensing would be an issue though, surely.

Book was so poorly written and unimaginative, taking what was popular
in 2010 such as the AVGN and WOW and just writing about that. Besides
the concept of the world being “Soylent Green” in the future and
people use VR to go to a different world there is nothing they can use
from the book. It will have to be a completely different script for
the movie with a lot better ideas on VR. Swear to Crist if they
mention he cannot afford his own spaceship in VR because of the price
of gas, someone is going to die.

I see post-apocalyptic Lawnmower Man meeting Video Game High School.
Not a Rift fanboi. Not a Vive fanboi. I'm a VR fanboi. Get it straight.
