Warner Brothers has released a new nostalgic poster for Ready Player One that nods to Back to the Future, among other films. The movie’s homages to popular culture have been a major focus of its promotional campaign, mixing ’80s and ’90s nostalgia with the dystopian future aesthetic of the film’s futuristic world.
Ready Player One chronicles the story of Wade Owen Watts (Tye Sheridan), living in the ‘stacks’ in Oklahoma.
The movie posters of the ’80s were an iconic part of those films, and this one-sheet manages to capture their look and feel, far more than the previous Ready Player One posters have.
Ready Player One stars Tye Sheridan, Ben Mendelson, Simon Pegg, Olivia Cooke, Lena Waithe, and Mark Rylance.
