On Saturday, Comic-Con fans got a first look at the trailer for Stephen Spielberg’s new film, ‘Ready Player One’, which will be released next year.
The movie will star Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts, a teenager who lives in the stacks of Ohio, but spends his time exploring the futuristic video game Oasis. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sheridan was a fan of virtually reality before being cast. He says that when he first read it, his reaction was, “Holy shit, Steven Spielberg is making a VR movie. I can’t wait to see that.”

Ben Mendelsohn (best known for playing “Bloodline”) will play Nolan Sorrento, the designer of Oasis.
Speaking to The Wrap recently, Mendelsohn said his representation of Sorento will not be by the book.
“I’m not trying to be faithful to the book Sorrento at all… So, anyone that’s coming at it wanting a faithful re-creation or transposing of the written Sorrento is not gonna get it. I would rarely do that because my feeling about written literature characters is you don’t get to better them.”
Mendelsohn is an Australian actor who rose to fame for playing The Year My Voice Broke. He went on to star in The Dark Knight Rises, Mississippi, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Since 2015, he’s starred in Bloodline on Netflix, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award.
