Steven Spielberg’s latest movie is sure to be a hit with geeks and pop culture lovers everywhere. Based on the best-selling 2011 novel by Ernest Cline, Ready Player One takes place in the dystopian future of 2046 in which the globe’s bloated population spend all their time in the Oasis – a vast virtual reality filled with various characters and settings from famous movies, TV shows, video games and more.

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, we had a chance to check out the first footage of Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film, Ready Player One. The movie is based on the Ernest Cline novel of the same name, and is poised to be a big hit upon its release. Not only is this a big budget, tentpole film based on a hit book, but it’s also something of a pop culture cornucopia. The novel was a love letter to the 1980s, and based on the trailer, it seems like they will be continuing the pop culture references through the 1990s and 2000s — as evidenced by the likes of the Iron Giant and Master Chief.

A new image has been released for Steven Spielberg's feature film adaptation of the amazing book Ready Player One! If features our first look at Olivia Cooke as Samantha Evelyn Cook a.k.a. Art3mis as she is approached by Wade Watts a.k.a. Parzival (Tye Sheridan). When talking about her experience working on the film, Cooke told Empire:
“It felt like pure adventure. It was Willy Wonka, it was Indiana Jones. When you’re a kid wanting to be an actor, the idea of working with [Spielberg] sounds absurd. It was surreal.”
What's interesting about this photo is that these two characters are actually meeting outside of the Oasis in a very different setting than when they first meet in real life in the book. In the book, they don't meet outside of the Oasis until the very end of the story. Obviously, Spielberg is going to...

Steven Spielberg is currently directing a big screen adaptation of the novel Ready Player One, which is a story that pays tribute to the awesomeness of the 1980s. The novel contains a ton of references to Spielberg's classic films, and we'll see a few of them in the movie but not all of them. The director previously explained that he cut a lot of his own references out except for the DeLoreon and apparently Gremlins.
Some set photos have surfaced featuring some wall art that will be in the background of the film and that wall art references Gremlins, DC's The Flash, what looks to be Street Fighter, and more. You can see all of the photos below thanks to Twitter user Michelle Green.

Extending their piping hot streak long into 2018, The Hollywood Reporter has today revealed Mark Rylance is set to make it three for three with Steven Spielberg collaborations, after enlisting for the director’s long-anticipated adaptation of Ready Player One.
It follows the pair’s work across Cold War thriller Bridge of Spies and, soon, The Bfg, meaning that after Rylance and Spielberg whisk moviegoers off to the mystical plains of Giant Country, they’ll be plotting course for the Oasis.
Lifted from Ernest Cline’s celebrated sci-fi novel, Ready Player One largely takes place in the virtual world of Oasis – a timely topic, given the advent of Oculus Rift, Htc Vive and more – one created and governed by the deeply enigmatic James Donovan Halliday. THR confirms that Rylance will take point as Halliday, a troubled visionary that can be likened to Howard Hughes and Steve Jobs.

Sounds like Steven Spielberg's next directorial venture Ready Player One is moving full steam ahead as the much anticipated film has just found its female lead in Olivia Cooke. Earlier this afternoon, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Cooke had landed the coveted part of Art3mis, the Oasis avatar of Samantha Evelyn Cook, beating out both Elle Fanning (We Bought A Zoo) and Lola Kirke (Gone Girl). Cooke is now currently in the process of negotiating her contract. THR adds that Spielberg was hoping to finalize the male lead simultaneously, but unfortunately hasn't been able to come to a decision just yet. It's still uncertain which direction he's leaning, but it should probably be noted that just ten days ago, Nick Robinson (Jurassic World) was rumored to be an early favorite. Cooke is best known for her main role on the A&E drama Bates Motel and recently received...

Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow have brought an end to their search for the female lead to topline Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, cherry-picking rising star Olivia Cooke for the coveted part of Art3mis.
According to earlier reports, the Me and Earl and the Dying Girl actress was rubbing shoulders with Lola Kirke and Elle Fanning on the studios’ shortlist of candidates, though today The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that it is indeed Cooke who nabbed the role, with negotiations still to be ironed out. Based on the dystopian best-seller by Ernest Cline, Cooke has joined the cast as Art3mis, a “gunter who is hunting for the keys that will let the one who solves the riddle to own the Oasis, a highly valuable, online virtual reality space.”
