Steven Spielberg is currently working on the film "Ready Player One." Filming is set in the United Kingdom, and several photos have recently surfaced, showing the production details.
The production of "Ready Player One" has transformed the iconic Jewellery Quarter into a dystopian future in the United States. Several residents shared on social media how exciting it was for them to see the film in progress as they head to work. Many noted how "Ready Player One" has made England into America again. Kotaku stated that based on the photos and videos, there were a lot of graffiti, ruined cars on the street, garbage everywhere and the American flag at the entrance of a building.
Spielberg and his team also did their best to hide any hints that "Ready Player One" was set in the U.K., by covering classic telephone booths, and the Jewellery Quarter. That's in addition to other details on the streets that suggest how filming was actually done in Birmingham. Some of the notable details on the set of "Ready Player One" include a sign featuring a man wearing what appears to be VR goggles. There was an invitation to "Join the Quest."
There were also several weird vehicles that looked like a cross between a van and a washing machine. There were people in the "Ready Player One" photos, although it is uncertain whether they are part of the "Ready Player One" cast or mere bystanders. SlashFilm revealed that "Ready Player One" stars Tye Sheridan (Wade Watts/Parzival), Olivia Cooke (Samantha Evelyn Cook/Art3mis), Simon Pegg (Ogden Morrow), and Ben Mendelsohn (Nolan Sorrento). T.J. Miller (iR0k), Philip Zhao (Shoto), Win Morisaki (Daito) and Mark Rylance (James Halliday, the OASIS creator) are also reportedly joining the cast.
"Ready Player One" is based on the book by Ernest Cline. The story focuses on a world struggling with an energy crisis that has destroyed the economy and society. People are attempting to get away from the consequence of year 2044 through OASIS, a virtual reality. After the death of Halliday, he created a special quest inside OASIS, with the winner earning his fortune and business.
"Ready Player One" by Steven Spielberg will launch on Mar. 30, 2018. More updates and details are expected soon.
