Steven Spielberg is in full production on his film adaptation of Ernest Cline’s best-seller “Ready Player One” with location shooting underway in Birmingham, England. Today, a Twitter account has posted up photos of some of production designer Adam Stockhausen’s sets for the film which stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cook, Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg, TJ Miller and Ben Mendelsohn.
Set in the near future, “Ready Player One” follows outcast teenager Wade Watts (Sheridan), who escapes his bleak surroundings by logging in to the OASIS – a globally networked virtual utopia where users can lead idyllic alternate lives. When eccentric billionaire who created the OASIS dies, he offers up his vast fortune as the prize in an elaborate treasure hunt. The film opens March 30th 2018.
