Get ready to enter the OASIS as  Warner Bros. and director Stephen Spielberg release the official theatrical trailer for the upcoming film Ready Player One. View trailer below.

In the year 2044, the world has been gripped by an energy crisis from the depletion of fossil fuels and the consequences of global warming, causing widespread social problems and economic stagnation. To escape the decline of the world is facing, people turn to the OASIS, a virtual reality simulator accessible by players using visors and haptic technology such as gloves. It functions both as an MMORPH and as a virtual society, with its currency being the most stable in the real world. It was created by James Halliday who, when he died, had announced in his will to the public that he had left and Easter Egg inside OASIS, and the first person to find it would inherit his entire fortune and the corporation. The story follows the adventures of Wade Watts starting about five years after the announcement, when he discovers one of the three keys pointing to the treasure.

OMG….I’m so pumped for this movie. Wow…I’m like having a nerd overload here. Now, i have definitely have to read the book before i see this movie. All this new footage, which explains a bit more of the story’s plot, looks incredible. Plus, all the iconic characters and objects from various mediums (movies, TV, video games, etc) in this movie are super cool. All in all, I’m super pumped for this movie!!!!
