The past and future collide in a new look at READY PLAYER ONE!

Ernest Cline‘s Ready Player One dives into a vision of the future that deals with society’s dependence on technology so realistically that Steven Spielberg thinks he may be a time traveler.

Spielberg’s take on the book hits movie screens in two months. In a new featurette from the film, the director and author talk about crafting their vision for the future, adapting from book to screen, and combining futurism with nostalgia.

From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure “Ready Player One,” based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller of the same name, which has become a worldwide phenomenon.

The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.
