Ready Player One was about a virtual reality video game where essentially any pop culture property you could think of existed.
While it’s unclear from the trailer just how important all these references are to the movie itself, it does appear they’ll be all over the movie, and much like Ready Player One, there are going to be an insane number of character appearances to sift through.
Those properties took the form of different worlds within the game space, and here we’re getting something very similar.
Between the original novel and the Steven Spielberg film based on it, there were almost more easter eggs and references than there was plot– because in many ways the references were the plot.
