Ernest Kline's so called holy grail of pop culture novel is headed to the screen, directed by Steven Spielberg. Check out the new trailer below!
The book is officially described as:
"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."
Among Spielberg's recent directing projects are LINCOLN, WAR HORSE, THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN,INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL and more. He is currently working on ST JAMES PLACE and THE BFG.
