Author Ernest Cline talks about "Ready Player One"

[@neilamadhava]

Just reading this now and really enjoying it! First time I have neglected life for a novel in ages - it's a good feeling :) Reading it with youtube open to listen to the 80's soundtrack references come up so news of going to the big screen is even easier to imagine as amazing :)!

[@coolmug85]

Probably one of the best books I've ever read, re-read, then re-read once more...

[@shekitty9347]

I saw the movie based on his book today It's not a movie but a genius tribute to the 80s, pop culture, gamers and their gaming spirit, internet connections and bonds, amazingly well used references to cult classics like 'the shining' 'King Kong' 'Godzilla' and others JUST A DELITE TO WATCH A COOL MOVIE like such 😊

[@chrispanossian]

Three is a magic number!

[@cdromthedisc]

If the OASIS was real... I would be on it day and night.

[@BraxtonMeyer]

Of Course

[@codee2551]

I would too i would be so happy if it was real if i found out my heart would beat super fast and i would cry with happiness if it was real it would take away alot of problems and i am kindk of REALLY sad it does not exist and if u see this comment tell me how u are doing right now chz u posted thag 3 years ago.

[@codee2551]

Your commebt made me so emotional for some reason. If it was real i would got to a non pvp zone and look at the beautiful night sky because looking at the night sky with wind blowing on my face makes me so happy.

[@katusakirocks5630]

CDHannah it's so sad how dito was thrown to his death

[@nightmuffin937]

One of My Favorite Books of the 2010s along with The Lost Hero and Matterhorn

[@wilhelmjonsson3971]

He said in a couple of years in 2011, it comes out 2018... But I am excited!

[@Gamerselite87]

As of the date of this post 11/13/13 they ARE making it into a movie. I cannot wait to see it.

[@starmaster191]

yep. and now look at the status of the film

[@starmaster191]

yep. and now look at the status of the film

[@BlueScoolG]

I'm from 2018 and the movie was fine BUT EPIC

[@beastlymarek]

@@BlueScoolGhorrible adaptation, worst I’ve seen since the Percy Jackson movies, but great movie on its own. Just don’t expect it to be like the book at all lol

[@Venitas751]

NEED TO MAKE A MOVIE!

[@strangescribe1]

You got your wish

[@JacobCacho]

In theaters now

[@orcanimal]

YES! I didn't realize this until now but I've always wanted that.

[@MiikaKontio]

Awesome book (I've read only half now). I like these near future imaginations.

[@Capgungoesbang]

I read this book in a day. I can't stop thinking about it and researching it. When they make the movie they better be so careful not to fuck it up. A lot of detail needs to go into it.

[@stanley3119]

Capgungoesbang It's there

[@rupeshyadav303]

Happy for you brother. Its here

[@JacobCacho]

Have you watched it yet?

[@umutcoskun4247]

I will build on this mans vision

[@PaladinRS]

Ernest Cline is a righteous dude.

[@Rexdaisy]

The newscaster has very Max Headroom hair, which is apropos. It's beautiful.

[@andrewwalsh861]

That is the most fitting character i think ive ever seen.

[@rewl_official]

I really hope that he will make a sequel to this book, and a movie! And they have to be done with care, this shit has to be good.

[@voicemonkey3886]

RoboBoss Honestly, i believe this would be the most ambitious movie in the last 15 years. And that's saying a lot when i consider Nolan films, and Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Lord of the Rings to be very ambitious and challenging films.

[@TheNugettinage]

VoiceMonkey This could definitely be the next big thing, if it works out on the movie side of things. It has so much potential, and it's so great that Spielberg is directing it. Spielberg's movies are like pizza; when they're great, they're great, and when they're bad, they're still pretty good.

[@rewl_official]

They also must have some great lawyers if they can get the rights to all the pop-cultural references.

[@yorickmoran3516]

RoboBoss Well if steven spielberg managed to get the rights for bugs bunny and mickey mouse for who framed roger rabbit. Then he can probably get the rights for all of the reference in the book.

[@rewl_official]

Yorick Moran That's an interesting point you've got there, buddy.

[@nat_the_gray]

YES! A movie!

[@Danielblco0]

I love the dude.

[@remstir2226]

I can't wait for the movie

[@MrBobsled1]

love this book !!!!

[@80Bucks]

Great book

[@NorthWestSwagv]

I just finished reading this book:/ any suggestions on a new book to start?

[@Parzibal]

It's Hard but it can be done, and talking about Warner... we have to wait to the future to see... :)

[@februaryboy91]

Please make this book into a movie. I'm not even halfway through the novel. xD

[@YRUSL]

This book is AWESOME!! Mad Good story!!!!!!

[@thormag]

I was actually thinking about Billy Connolly for Ogden, but Jeff Bridges is an awesome candidate too.

[@junt2397]

best book ever

[@danturnbull88]

The Adventures of Cavalier and Klay

[@StantonAV]

I want a speeding ticket in my DeLoreean!!

[@BradTheProducer]

That reporter should play Sorrento.

[@Ivellios45]

Ogden has to be Jeff Bridges. Irl and in game. And I pictured Art3mis being played by the girl who played Ramona Flowers in Scott Pilgrim

[@magicallovegood7007]

Un des meilleurs livre que j'ai lue dans ma vie.

[@remstir2226]

He's my uncle

[@oceanman2811]

Remstir really ?

[@gabrielrhodes2458]

Are they making a movie? My pc dosnt have sound

[@TingTitan]

first few chapters were so predictable but from the level 3 went on I got addicted to it @@

[@sEEKtHEtRUTH11]

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! Check out the audio book... will wheaton does a great job

[@helium73]

Little known fact. the 80s actually took place in the 70s. Which is odd because so did the 60s.

[@Myhre1337]

where can i get a deloreon

[@BraxtonMeyer]

Where can I buy the Flux capicator

[@nemooutis-marcusboateng7459]

Arena mode by Blake northcott is quite similar

[@MusicxGoliath]

You and I have the same idea for Morrow.

[@jonnybgood2095]

The book wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be. Take away the video game and 80's references and it loses some of its appeal. Is it the worst book I have read, nah... is it the "best book ever," not even close.

[@TheNugettinage]

JonnyB Good It has the same kind of appeal as Indiana Jones I think. Indiana Jones movies in themselves aren't actually that great, but there's just something so organic, so fun, and so interesting about the situations and the character that they have risen to become classics (other than the fourth one, ugh).

[@s70driver2005]

JonnyB Good I had never heard of this book until a friend handed me one. It's fucking great!!!

[@TheStanishStudios]

TheNugettinage - Pretty sure you just explained why the movies are in fact good…

[@TheStanishStudios]

Wikipedia 80’s Articles: The Book

[@untunedguitar45]

Made into X-E and Platypus Comix : The Movie

[@ItsJeul]

We'll never see the movie, seeming as the world is ending this year!

[@jeffreyali3644]

You were saying?

[@mullergui13]

who should play Art3mis?

[@nitro855]

it was ...k

[@Venitas751]

Gabourey Sidibe

[@TingTitan]

the only way this book can become a movie is through animation movie or else it will be like The Hunger Games - the movie shows no emotions :(

[@starlycasablanca1062]

I wish it was an animation!!! That would've been so much better.

[@rjcripe]

Should've just punched that gas pedal and avoided that ticket... 88mph isn't exactly a hard speed to reach.

[@Phroboxx]

i wanna found my art3mis!!!

[@BecktonBoii]

I see Halliday in Ernest a lot. The way he describes his awkward laughing and such. Ernest himself seems like he suffers from some form of autism. Nice to see a reflection of himself in the book

[@TheStanishStudios]

Yeah that’s because he wrote himself into the story through Halliday

[@jakeuskun]

Jamie Halliwell I see Cline in both Wade and Halliday, It was interesting how it was like he was passing the torch to himself at the end of the book. As an aspiring writer I struggle to find a story that grasps my interest. I have an idea that i’ve been working on for months almost a year now, and i’m starting to get frustrated with the direction of my story. I write myself into multiple characters in a lot of ways. Making a lot of my characters 1 dimensional.

[@jonpon-r6w]

What a horrible, horrible, book.

[@mwest6887]

I have to agree. I don't know what these folks are saying but I made it twenty chapters in and gave up. It was as boring as heck.

[@davy1972]

Stephanie West Really? I loved it. Really sorry you disliked it so.

[@projectionreflection5475]

Also that's your opinion might not be a good opinion but it's your opinion.

[@josephc.837]

Aech is an African female.

[@mayonnaise2001]

don't spoil it for all of the people who are halfway through the book

[@rupeshyadav303]

Fuck you
