The next Steven Spielberg blockbuster was just revealed at Comic-Con, with Warner Bros. releasing a trailer for “Ready Player One” with the renowned director at the helm.
Based on the 2011 novel by Ernest Cline, “Ready Player One” concerns the Oasis, a virtual reality universe that humans in the not-too-distant future come to prefer over living in the real world. The story begins when the founder of Oasis dies and offers his fortune up in a treasure hunt that brings out all kinds of contestants, including a teenager named Wade Watts, who will be played by Sheridan.
The film stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Simon Pegg, TJ Miller, Mark Rylance, Lena Waithe, and Ben Mendelsohn as the villain, an executive for an Internet corporation that has designs on Oasis.
