In the past, Steven Spielberg’s films have managed to garner worldwide attention and there is no doubt about the fact that he is one of the finest directors in the Hollywood industry. While he does have a ton of critics scrutinizing each and every movie of his, especially the ones belonging to the sci-fi genre, you can’t ignore that he is a visionary. And his upcoming film ‘Ready Player One’ goes on to prove that there is no stopping him.

For those who don’t know, the film is based on Ernest Cline’s novel of the same name.

The novel took the world by storm and when we heard that Spielberg is bringing it on celluloid, our happiness knew no bounds.
The movie is set in 2045 where the Earth as we know it, has basically just reduced down to slum-like cities due to overpopulation, pollution, corruption, and climate change. But people have found an escape and that is to engage in the virtual reality world of the OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation).

However, when the creator of OASIS dies, he leaves behind the ownership with the first person who will find a hidden treasure within OASIS by playing games and solving puzzles.
Here’s the trailer:
The trailer, for obvious reasons, managed to break the internet and made us desperate to watch the movie. However, since the release seems to be a little too far right now, Spielberg is here to calm us down a little.
With a new teaser, titled ‘See the Future’, the author of the novel, Ernest Cline pays tribute to Spielberg and his work. He confesses that without Spielberg’s movies, he wouldn’t have been able to become the author that he is today and that ‘Ready Player One’ wouldn’t have been born.
Further, we see Spielberg talking about his inspiration behind the film and offer us more insight into his thought process. And we have got to admit; it is always a delight to see a legend like him talk about what goes into making his out-of-the-world movies.
Have a look:
‘Ready Player One’ stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, T.J. Miller, Simon Pegg, and Mark Rylance and is set for a release on March 30, 2018.
