The story of Ready Player One is one long love letter to the 1980s in which Wade makes several references to actual music and films of the time, including quite a few from the famed director himself.
It may prove more challenging for Spielberg since the story of Ready Player One includes so many references to his work the director will need to find the right balance between too much and too little.
Steven Spielberg was attached to the adaption back in March of 2015, and since then, the small cast has filled out.
Ready Player One is expected to hit theaters on March 29, 2018.
