"I wish I'd grown up in the 1980s, like all my heroes." This is Ready Player One.

Steven Spielberg is back in full-on future geek mode for this adaptation of Ernest Cline’s much loved and best-selling dystopian sci-fi novel. Ready Player One is set in a dystopian future (is there any other kind?) where the Earth has been ravaged and the only escape is through a Virtual Reality headset that brings you into the world of the OASIS. If that all sounds like something you've seen a thousand times, let us remind you that Steven Spielberg does not do things by default and he's bringing us into a nostalgia-filled world of DeLoreans, Freddie Krueger, The Iron Giant and lots of other references to the 1980s. This is going to be HUGE. https://twitter.com/Fandango/status/888830705379061760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickeringmyth.com%2F2017%2F07%2Ffirst-trailer-for-steven-spielbergs-ready-player-one-hits-the-web%2F Starring: Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg.
