Considering how Spielberg butchered Ready Player One, I hope they find someone more respectful.
The source material wasn't good in the first place.
I finished it as a hate read, hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Just a packet of clichés wrapped around nerd nostalgia. I absolutely lost it when a chapter was literally just reciting an 80s movie word for word. 🤣
I know it though Mike Nelson's bookclub podcast. It was funny hearing him relieved not to have been mentioned as an important piece of 80's pop culture.
I know someone who's whole identity is that he never grew up after the 80s. He was insufferable in that lead up to that movie.
That's a fine opinion to have, but it doesn't justify leaving out the coolest parts of the book, or ruining Art3mis's character, or changing Shoto's name.
what was the coolest part of the book? it's been 10 years and I only saw the movie once and forgot about it.
Wade gets arrested on purpose to be indentured at IOI so that he can infiltrate their security and set up strategic items in the Oasis to allow him and his friends to get to the final gate, which the Sixers were protecting with an impenetrable energy shield.
Ahh I kinda remember that, that wasn't in the movie?
No, in the movie, it's Samantha that gets arrested, not on purpose. She's able to influence things from the inside but only by chance, not as a calculated risk.
