My cousin worked as a PA on that film. They shot it awhile ago.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I just saw the Ready Player One trailer and was coming here to post it, but you beat me to it. Firstly, I spot Harley Quinn, Deadpool, the Back to the Future car, Iron Giant, Freddy Krueger ... what the fuck is up with this movie?
And secondly ... I had an idea for this type of movie/story years ago. Well, not this type of story, I'm sure, but with these types of cameos. You'd have the main character driving down the street, and in EVERY passing car, famous car scenes are being played out from popular movies. Same thing when he goes into a restaurant, and so on. It's as if the main character is in a world where movies are real. But, you know, production companies and ownership rights, and money and stuff, lol. Roadblocks.
Read the book. It's fantastic. If you grew up in the 70's/80's, it's a must read. If you're a gamer, it's even more of a must read. It's kind of like Willy Wonka meets The Matrix.
Plot Synopsis: 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.

I hope it's better than Hail, Caesar!, which I found to be pretty disappointing.
