Steven Spielberg revealed the trailer of "Ready Player One" at the San Diego Comic Con. He revealed the first footage of the movie to the audience. "Ready Player One" is an adaptation of the novel by the same name by Ernie Cline. The movie centers around a geeky teenager named Wade. Wade and several other of humans at this time prefer to live in a virtual reality world known as the OASIS. When the creator of the OASIS dies, Wade gets involved in a high-speed chase to find the treasure that the creator has left behind in the virtual world. The movie boasts a spectacular cast that includes Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Mark Rylance and Simon Pegg.
Wade Watt's life is about to change
Wade Watts, played by Tye Sheridan, is the protagonist. He lives in a place called the Stacks, which appears to be several camper vans layered on top of one another. Watt's is part of a generation referred to as the missing millions. Practically everyone in this universe prefers to live in the virtual reality known as OASIS.
When the creator of the OASIS dies, there is a huge scavenger hunt for the treasure that the creator has left behind. Wade decides to join the masses in the hunt for the treasure. In the OASIS, the creator has left behind three clues, known by the gamers as easter eggs. Whoever finds all three will have the knowledge to control the system forever.
The book of the same name gained a huge cult following.
The movie adaptation is to be different
As is the case with many book to movie adaptations "Ready Player One" is set to be starkly different from the novel in many ways. According to io9, Spielberg has kept the references to pop culture such as the iron giant, a nightmare on elm street and more.
However, as seen in the trailer, the final scene of the huge race was not actually a feature of the novel itself.
It appears that Spielberg has taken a turn from the continuity of the novel. However, when Spielberg showcased the trailer for the movie, it did receive a good reception at the San Diego Comic Con. Furthermore, with Steven Spielberg at the helm of "Ready Player One," it is sure to be a great success.
"Ready Player One" is due to hit theaters in the U.S. on March 30, 2018. Fans will have to wait until the new year arrives before they can see the movie adaptation of the popular book. With a cult following already attached to the novel, "Ready Player One" is set to be a massive success.
