The teaser trailer for Steven Spielberg's who plays the virtual reality game, OASIS.
Parzival plays as an egg hunter -- or gunter -- and the purpose behind the game is for someone to discover the hidden easter egg left behind by its creator, James Donovan Halliday (Mark Rylance), the founder of Gregarious Games. The first person to uncover the easter egg, which can only be discovered by completing numerous puzzles and riddles, is awarded Halliday's gaming empire. In order to keep things fresh for those who've read the novel, Spielberg and his team have added their own riddles into the mix, thus making Ready Player One somewhat of an original story, despite also being quite faithful to the source material.
The first look image showing Sherdian's Parzival playing OASIS released just last week, and now people can have their first real look at the world Spielberg has crafted on the big screen. Warner Bros. officially debuted the first teaser trailer for Spielberg's Ready Player One during their Hall H at SDCC 2017, before releasing it to the public. You can watch the trailer in the section above.
Spielberg is known for frequently collaborating with specific actors -- namely Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford -- and Ready Player One marks the third collaboration between him and Rylance over the past two years or so. Rylance previously portrayed Rudolf Abel in Spielberg's 2015 film, will be filling in for Williams.
In addition to Rylance and Sheridan, Ready Player One also stars the likes of Ben Mendelsohn, Olivia Cooke, T.J. Miller, and Simon Pegg, among others. The film was originally slated to release this December, but it was later pushed back to spring 2018 in order to avoid competition with Rian Johnson's Justice League (or another Warner Bros. feature) releases this fall.
