| The movie is based on Ernest Cline novel |
READY PLAYER ONE
is actually a big screen adaptation of a popular science fiction novel by Ernest Cline (who actually mentions Steven Spielberg in the very book the director is now helming) and it revolves around a young outcast named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan). In the near future, Watts escapes from his daily drudgery by logging onto an MMO game called 'The Oasis'. When the game's billionaire founder (Mark Rylance who worked with Spielberg two years ago in The Big Friendly Giant) dies, he offers players his fortune as the prize in an easter egg hunt within The Oasis and also the control over the
entire Oasis. Watts
gets in on the action then after five years finds himself facing off
against corporate foes who will go to any lengths to get the money -- in
both the real world and in The Oasis.

ReplyDeleteI'm not a gamer, but it looks good visually
DeleteNot my type of movie.
ReplyDeletemine neither :)
DeleteAllison has gotten back into playing video games so this may be one her and her friends will enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever had time to play one, sadly or luckily
DeleteI'd say luckily. I have friends whose husbands play and the games get more attention than they do.
Deletehe he he...
DeleteMy son's really looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteHope he will like it!
DeleteSo are Alan and John Williams both working on the score? Williams does a great job with movie scores. He has a sixth sense of how to time things to evoke an emotional reaction.
ReplyDeleteNo, Williams is not working at all due to scheduling conflict. This is only the third movie in Spielberg's career that wasn't scored by Williams
