From accomplished director Steven Spielberg, who has a body of work too impressive to dig into right now, Ready Player One is a highly anticipated Sci-Fi thriller based on the book of the same name. I have yet to read the book but a friend of mine swears by it, saying it is easily one of his favorite books of all-time. I will have to give that book a read sooner than later but for now check out this trailer, its pretty awesome!! The cast includes Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Lena Waithe, T.J. Miller, Simon Pegg, and Mark Rylance. Check out the official trailers below!!
