Chris Miller took to social media to remind everybody that Ready Player One isn’t the only movie on the horizon that contains different franchises and properties rolled into one movie.
Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One arrives in theaters next week and Lego Movie 2 co-writer Chris Miller, the guy who was notoriously fired from co-directing Solo, has taken the opportunity to plug his upcoming sequel while poking some fun at the characters from different franchises teaming up in the new movie based off of Ernest Cline’s novel.
Both LEGO Movie 2 and Ready Player One are put out by Warner Bros., so it’s more than likely just a good-natured joke to promote his upcoming movie and nothing more.
The writer/director plays it off like he’s giving Ready Player One some press and then switches the tables.
