Warner Bros. and De Line Team for Ready Player One
Warner Bros. Pictures and De Line Pictures have bought the rights to Ready Player One, the first novel by Fanboys screenwriter Ernie Cline. The sale occurred a day after the book scored a publishing deal from Random House for North American rights. The property is described as follows:
In the near future, outcast teenager Wade Watts escapes from his bleak surroundings by logging in to the OASIS, a globally networked virtual utopia where users can lead idyllic alternate lives. When the eccentric billionaire who created the OASIS dies, he offers up his vast fortune as the prize in an elaborate treasure hunt. Along with gamers from around the world, Wade joins the adventure, and quickly finds himself pitted against powerful corporate foes and other ruthless competitors who will do anything, in the oasis or the real world, to reach the treasure first.
This sounds soooooo much like the One Piece manga
When the old Pirate King, Gold D. Roger died, he sends a message to everyone in the world of the ultimate treasure to find @ ONE PIECE.
In this movie, when the creator of OASIS died, he sends a message to everyone in the world of the ultimate treasure to find @ LOOT
Apparently this will have a lot of geek reference to films of 1980s. I grew up in that decade, this should bring back some awesome childhood memories.
The novel just found its publisher Random House (a nice 6 figure deal), before the ink on that deal dried it already been bought by Warner. Ernie Cline's (the author) first novel hit paydirt before the public had any chance to know of it's existence, let alone read it.
Blink and you will miss the pop cultural references. I saw Iron Giant, Some superheroes, Freddy Krueger, McFly's DeLorean, Akira bike, Tron cycle..... Salute to the legal department for securing the rights. The teaser actually did a good job for setting up the world. They could potentially owned the pre-summer slot like Deadpool/Logan.

This trailer certainly warrant to watch in full 4k glory. The references just filled to the brim. If i have to choose will for sure watch this over Black Panther.
https://www.thewrap.com/ready-player-one-al...trailer-photos/ A pretty decent breakdown of who and what cameos in the trailer. Suppose the hardcore fans will find more hidden easter eggs to the book. Honestly those who haven't read ought to really give it a shot. It's a page turner and you bound to reread it many times over because it is really that enjoyable.

Watched the trailer. My assumption
-RPO is basically a movie just like Sword Art Online anime, where instead of setting the game to the world of dungeon n dragon, the creator mashed up all the 90s pulp culture and games till todate into one massive game world. Objective, find a special treasure containing all the creator's money. Rules : you die (or coma?) if you get killed in the game

Nope....you assume too much. The hunt only one aspect of it but the biggest hold of the story is how they used the nolstagic familiarity in a really refreshing way to an action adventure epic. Not emo anime BS.
Spielberg a bit late to VR-game as consumer has already found VR back their home shore via Samsung VR, Google Cardbox, Playstation VR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, customable VR desktop, etc but price is still steep.
Final trailer before the barrage of movie clips and TV spots. The only obstacle this movie facing is Pacific Rim 2 release a week before. There's a potential to be a substantial hit and hope Spielberg able to stay relevant in the face of comic book movies dominance.

Final trailer...at this point either you are in or out. Flock to the cinema if possible so we have more options to watch other genres in the future. There are only so much of superheroes movie you can stomach before the fatigue sets in.
