It's been one of Spielberg's most eagerly awaited adaptations, but now finally, Ready Player One is finally in production.

The dystopian novel, set in a far-off future where the world is mostly lived in a virtual-reality construct, has been the subject of numerous attempts to adapt and, at long last, it's finally happening. On-set photos show that filming is well underway with Birmingham now being completely transformed into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The cast includes Academy Award winner Mark Rylance, X-Men Apocalypse's Tye Sheridan, comedian TJ Miller and Rogue One's Ben Mendelsohn, however none have been sighted on set as of yet.

 

 

 

Ready Player One is slated for a March 30th, 2018 release and we're expecting a trailer before the end of the year. Were you a fan of Ready Player One? Do these shots look accurate?
