Ready Player One started as a book released in back in 2011 by a man named Ernest Cline. Ernest is a geek. He loves all things pop culture, and expressed that love in the 2009 movie "Fanboys". While Fanboys didn't receive any commercial success, it was loved by many people, giving it the "cult hit" status of movies.

Ready Player One was his first novel he had written, this time its about gaming. Its a throw back to all things 80's with pop culture references and 80's gaming nostalgia. 

The book is set in the not so distance future, 2045 to be exact. Everything is bleak and dirty. To escape this, people enter a virtual reality world called "OASIS". This is where civilization really lives. People go to school, work, and even hang out with other people. Well, their avatars anyway. One day it is announced that the creator of OASIS has passed away, and in his passing, he has laid out a challenge to every person in OASIS. Collect three keys, and his entire fortune, along with control of OASIS, is theirs for the taking. 

I'm not going to go into any more, read the book. I am currently reading it right now, and I'm loving every minute of it.  

But this is not done yet. With the success of the book, WB has stepped in and is creating a movie. 

Ready Player One is set to release in March of 2018. It is being directed by none other than Steven Spielberg. You know, that guy who created all of those amazing movies. Yeah, that guy. 

Well, WB released the official first trailer today.. and yeah. This movie looks amazing. Just watch it for yourself. 

 

Look at all of that 80's goodness. I am very hyped for this movie.
