60 Photos From READY PLAYER ONE Reveal The Avatars of I-R0k and Sorrento and More!
Warner Bros. has released 60 photos from the highly anticipated Steven Spielberg film Ready Player One! Some of these photos offer us a first look at the avatars for T.J. Miller's i-R0k and Ben Mendelsohn's Sorrento. They also include new looks at Daito and Shoto. I also included a video featuring ten minutes of behind-the-scenes footage along with a list of companies that Warner Bros. was able to obtain a license from so they could use their characters in the movie.
Some of the photos are revealing, and offer story elements that previously haven't been revealed. They don't really spoil any plot points, but if you are familiar with the book, then there are some things that you'll certainly be excited to see. The video, however, does spoil a few things, but if you don't care about spoilers then watch it.
I can't wait for audiences to get to see this movie! I really hope that it's a success because it's such an incredibly fun movie filled with all kinds of geeky awesomeness.
In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spend their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone—the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who left his immense fortune and total control of the OASIS to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends—known as the High Five—are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.
The movie hits theaters on March 29th.
