Spielberg dirigerà Ready Player One?

L’agenda di Steven Spielberg è sempre affollatissima…

Finite le riprese di Bridge of Spies, il prossio film dovrebbe essere la commedia familiare The BFG.

Ma si parla con forza di un progetto di fantascienza targato Warner Bros. E’ l’adattamento del romanzo Ready Player One di Ernest Cline.

Zak Penn (X-Men: Last Stand, The Avengers) sta scrivendo la sceneggiatura:

In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines — puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.

But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade’s going to survive, he’ll have to win — and confront the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.

Ma sarà davvero questo il progetto di Spielberg per il 2016? Difficile dirlo. Molti progetti si sovrappongono. Per ora sono solo rumors…
