Steven Spielberg will be directing the film version of Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One, it was confirmed today.
The novel, published in 2011, has been an international bestseller, although I must admit I found it a mixed bag, relying too heavily on nostalgia for effect. It was certainly a fun, if lightweight, book and it's a surprise that Spielberg is taking it on personally.
The film will be released on 15 December 2017. Cline's new novel, Armada, has just been released.

I couldn't make myself finish the book. maybe Spielberg sees something I missed.
Since this was a book I really enjoyed, I'm curious to see what the movie adaptation will be like. Assuming they can get licenses to a dozen or more other franchises, I've got high hopes. Fingers crossed!
Still need to read the book, keep hearing good things. Guess I have 2 years to get my act together.
