Following a few TV spots a few weeks back, Warner Bros. has now released a new still from the upcoming Steven Spielberg-directed film, featuring a new look at Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) as he works on solving James Halliday's (Mark Rylance) epic Easter Egg Hunt.

The photo also contains a handful of Easter eggs of its own, including Watts' personal written instructions on how to solve the Adventure Easter egg, which is worth noting since it apparently has some role to play in the upcoming movie. We also get to see a ton of newspaper clippings about Halliday and we also see Wade's bicycle, which helps power his OASIS rig. 

Check out the new still below:



 
The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.

Ready Player One features:
Director: Steven Spielberg
Tye Sheridan as Wade Owen Watts/Parzival

Ben Mendelsohn as Nolan Sorrento
Simon Pegg as Ogden "Og" Morrow
Mark Rylance as James Donovan Halliday/Anorak

Finally watched Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, and enjoyed it, which starred Tye Sheridan as well.
Trying to find another Horror Comedy to watch though.

Looking forward to Ready Player One as I loved the book.

@SimplyAz - What about watching Zombieland? That's a Horror/Comedy.

@A2ron -

Yeah, love Zombieland, awesome film. I'm too much of a wuss to watch straight up horror, but like the comedy ones.

Just finished the book again. Ernest Cline said he was happy with the references that made it into the movie, I hope I am. Can't wait.

@A2ron - I might give it a second read. I loved the references too. I think it was ChilledMilk that pointed out the Overwatch character. Bloody awesome!

I was wondering how well they’ll deal with the time jumps if at all (not sure if “time jumps” is the correct term. I can’t think of anything else right now but I hope you know what I mean?).

I'm a quarter of the way through the book now. For those who've read more specifically Personal, Art3mis, Ache and the duo are on the scoreboard.

Hope you’re enjoying it. I have to give it another read through beforehand.

@ChangAlang - Thanks. My boss is listening to audiobook and finished within two days. I'm I like collecting hard copies of books so it takes me longer.

I'm not the only one noticing his chair looks like the classic Cyclops costume right? As he is playing young cyclops...
