How About Ready Player One Volume 2? Are you Ready?
Ready Player One follow up: Cast, book, release date and whatever you need to know!
If anybody might make Ernest Cline’s hugely popular 2011 novel Ready Player One on the big screen, it was Steven Spielberg.
The hit opened to critical praise and practically $600 million worldwide, so the only real surprise is that a follow-up hasn’t already been verified by Warner Bros. Nevertheless, do not get upset right now as there’s still time for a sequel to be greenlit.
Ready Player One 2 book: Is Ernest Cline dealing with a follow up?
Why yes he is, although writing it while working on the film adjustment proved to be difficult in one specific way.
” I wished to make certain I had finished a minimum of a rough draft of the sequel before I saw the film since I didn’t desire the motion picture to affect me too. And I was really conscious of wanting to compose a sequel to my book that would please fans of the unique however likewise could act as the basis for a fun film,” he informed CinemaBlend.
Cline included that the second book– which doesn’t yet have a release date– will not have to do with a contest, but “will handle all of the very same characters and kind of the circumstance”.
” The fun of the sequel for me would be checking out other elements of popular culture that I like and not simply utilizing the very same ones over once again. That’s one of the reasons that I’m drawn to write more stories in this world,” he contributed to Den of Geek.
” It was a great deal of work creating the Oasis and the guidelines of the Oasis, but the Oasis was kind of the supreme computer game, and the supreme entertainment platform, which’s a very fun landscape in which to inform stories.”
Ready Player One 2 cast: Who’s returning?
Olivia Cooke will definitely be back as Art3mis (AKA Samantha Cook) as she exposed to Digital Spy that she’s registered for a sequel. “I’ve signed my life away, so I’m contracted to sequels but I don’t understand [if they’re happening] I have not heard anything. We’ll see,” she discussed.
So if Cooke is contracted for sequels, then we envision the same would choose Tye Sheridan as Parzival (AKA Wade Watts) and possibly for the likes of Lena Waithe as Aech (AKA Helen Harris), Philip Zhao as Sho (AKA Zhou) and Win Morisaki as Daito (AKA Toshiro).
At the end of the first film, the High Fivers were left in charge of the OASIS by its co-creator Ogden Morrow (Simon Pegg), so they ‘d all likely need to be back.
And despite the fact that he’s dead, expect to see Mark Rylance back as the other co-creator James Halliday as Cline has said that the response to what exactly Anorak (Halliday’s avatar) is will form a part of the follow up.
” Anorak, in the unique, is described as a ghost in the device. A lot of Gunters think that he’s in some way an AI copy of Halliday delegated roam the Oasis, that he’s left in charge of the contest. It’s never ever really checked out, but it’s hinted at,” he told Empire.
” When Steven and I were discussing that scene he asked me, what do you think Anorak is? I told him, and I told him how I thought that may play into the sequel, and I believe that’s why he included it in the film. We’re going to leave that a secret and open-ended, however I will tell you that the sequel I’ve been dealing with, it streams right into that.”
Whether Ben Mendelsohn or Hannah John-Kamen will be back as the villainous Nolan Sorrento and F’Nale Zandor, respectively, stays to be seen though as they were jailed for their misbehaviours at the end of the movie.
Ready Player One 2 director: Would Steven Spielberg return?
It’s not a guarantee that Spielberg will return for the follow up, although Cline informed Collider that the director did offer him some notes on the book sequel.
“I informed him what I had prepared and bounced that idea off of him. When that was happening, he was still focused on this film and he more wished to know what I had prepared, as it connects to the ending of this film, however what I have prepared is set up very perfectly, by the end of this film,” he laid out.
However Cline kept in mind that Spielberg likewise informed him that the film was the “3rd hardest” he’s made, behind Jaws and Saving Private Ryan, and if he was to do the follow up, then we might have a wait a while for it.
“I do not understand if he would wish to dive right back in, but perhaps in a couple years, he may have recuperated enough. I actually hope that, if we do make another one, that he would do it. Michael Crichton, the author, is the only one to get that lucky and have two of his books made into motion pictures by Steven, but perhaps I’ll get lucky, too,” he discussed.
If we have to await Spielberg, we think that’s a wait that’ll deserve it.
Ready Player One 2 release date: When could we expect it?
Production began on the first film in July 2016 and the motion picture was launched in March 2018, so going by that schedule, the earliest we might anticipate any sequel– even if it was to start filming right now– is 2020 and most likely late 2020 at that.
When it comes to now, all we can do is wait to see if Warner Bros reveals the sequel and ideally with that news will come a release date.
Olivia Cooke will certainly be back as Art3mis (AKA Samantha Cook) as she revealed to Digital Spy that she’s signed up for a follow up. I informed him, and I told him how I believed that might play into the follow up, and I think that’s why he included it in the movie. We’re going to leave that a secret and open-ended, however I will inform you that the sequel I’ve been working on, it streams right into that.”
I really hope that, if we do make another one, that he would do it. Michael Crichton, the author, is the just one to get that lucky and have 2 of his books made into films by Steven, however maybe I’ll get fortunate, too,” he described.
