Super Rad READY PLAYER ONE Poster Art Series Pays Tribute to Several Classic Movies!
A series of new poster art promoting Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One has popped up on the streets of Hollywood. What I love about these latest posters is the fact that they pay tribute to several classic movies. The poster designs are done in the same style as the posters that were created for films like The Goonies, Back to the Future, The Breakfast Club, Beetlejuice, Blade Runner, The Matrix, Labyrinth, Risky Business, Bullitt, The Lost Boys, Rambo, and The Iron Giant.
The marketing for this film has been a lot of fun! We won't have to wait much longer before we actually get to see the movie!
The film is set in 2045, with the real world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But people have found salvation in the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday died, he left his immense fortune, and total control of the OASIS, to the first person to win three keys, unlocking the door to a digital Easter egg he hid somewhere in his seemingly infinite creation. His challenge launched a game that gripped the entire world, but after five years the scoreboard remained tauntingly empty…until now.
An unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan)—under his avatar name, Parzival—finally conquers the first contest, instantly becoming a celebrity…and a target. Ruthless corporate mogul Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn) proves he will stop at nothing to beat Wade and take over the OASIS, and suddenly the virtual stakes are all-too-real. Ultimately realizing he cannot win alone, Wade joins forces with his friends—now the High Five (Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Lena Waithe, Philip Zhao, Win Morisaki). Together, they are hurled into a reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS.
The movie stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg, T.J. Miller, Hannah John-Kamen and Ben Mendelsohn.
Ready Player One gets its game on when it opens on March 29, 2018.
