In 2011, Ernest Cline had his first novel "Ready Player One" published for the world to see. In 2018, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg adapted Cline's words to the big screen. What could've drawn a filmmaker of his caliber to the world of the OASIS?
In this video, we look at how the film speaks to the state of nostalgia in the world post the book's release, how Spielberg, Cline, and screenwriter Zak Penn adapted Halliday's Easter Egg Hunt to reflect the enigmatic developer himself, and how Spielberg found parallels between himself and the character.
