This flick keeps jamming more and more notable characters and recognizable pop culture figures into trailers and it's getting hard to figure out which one to be the most excited about. I think I even saw King Kong roaming around in this one!
This trailer is a more fast paced affair than the ones before it, blazing a path through the OASIS, the VR world that most people hang out in ever since we treated the Earth like a $30 a night hotel room with someone else's credit card at the front desk. Based on the popular novel by Ernest Cline, Steven Spielberg is pulling out all the stops on this one, jamming tons of characters from pop culture into the mix, from Back to the Future, the Iron Giant, Jurassic Park, King-Kong, you name it.
The plot follows a dilapidated, beat up earth that no one wants to hang out on, with most people hanging out in OASIS instead, a VR world where anyone can be anything. When the creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a few hidden keys. If you solve his little mysteries and find those keys, you get to run OASIS, and you get all his money. Suffice to say, many people are very interested in finding the keys.
Ready Player One releases on March 29th.
