Steven Spielberg To Direct READY PLAYER ONE - AMC Movie News

It’s been nearly 5 years since it was announced that Warner Bros had acquired the film rights to READY PLAYER ONE, and it seems they’re ready to move full steam ahead. Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow have announced that Steven Spielberg has signed on to direct and produce the film based on the best selling book. The synopsis for the book is described as follows: "In the near future, outcast teenager Wade Watts escapes from his bleak surroundings by logging in to the OASIS, a globally networked virtual utopia where users can lead idyllic alternate lives. When the eccentric billionaire who created the OASIS dies, he offers up his vast fortune as the prize in an elaborate treasure hunt. Along with gamers from around the world, Wade joins the adventure, and quickly finds himself pitted against powerful corporate foes and other ruthless competitors who will do anything, in the oasis or the real world, to reach the treasure first.” What are your thoughts on Steven Spielberg directing and producing READY PLAYER ONE?
