Watch Pop Culture Overload In The First READY PLAYER ONE Teaser

READY PLAYER ONE doesn’t hold back in Easter Egg-filled first teaser!

How good are you with pop culture references? Steven Spielberg‘s Ready Player One is ready to test your knowledge in the first trailer for the highly anticipated film!

Based on the book by Ernest Cline, Ready Player One takes place on an overpopulated future Earth where people spend their days in the virtual comforts of Oasis, a virtual reality world where kids go to school, many adults go to work, and everyone builds up fantasy worlds of their own. James Halliday (Mark Rylance), Oasis’ creator, died several years back and left his fortune and control of Oasis to the first superfan to solve his scavenger hunt within the game. But cracking Halliday’s super secret world has been impossible– until teenage nobody Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) cracks the first clue and his world is flipped upside down. Now, Wade must solve the rest of Halliday’s mysteries first, without getting himself killed in the process, if he wants to keep the fate of Oasis and the world in safe hands.

The trailer gives us very little of the film’s actual storyline, but just check out those amazing visuals and action sequences. Plus, the pop culture: Iron Giant, Freddy Krueger, orcs, the Delorean, and the Akira motorcycle, for starters! Yes, WB! Give us all your popular licensed materials!

Ready Player One comes to theaters on March 30, 2018.
