Get Ready to Play in a World in Pure Imagination
Friday is finally here.
The only thing missing is a flashback. And with a certain low-budget, independent film now in theaters, it seems fitting to feature a movie trailer about a story that takes place in the future, yet is simultaneously defined by the past.
Ready Player One is now playing in movie theaters.
P.S. Steven Spielberg has done it again!
What is REALity?
The reality of seeing Ready Player One’s visually stunning virtual reality world is coming to a theater near us all very soon.
And as this week has been dedicated to this film’s highly-anticipated release, let’s dive right into a recent interview with legendary director Steven Spielberg, actress Olivia Cooke, and actor Tye Sheridan.
These days, the line between reality and virtual reality seems to be moving ever closer towards a gray zone (ironically). The fictional, dystopian future portrayed in Ready Player One seems to reveal an immersive world between reality and virtual reality, yet one that hints at distinguishing reality from virtual reality.
Welcome to a world perfectly built for Steven Spielberg.
Ready Player One arrives in movies theaters tomorrow, March 29.
The Biggest Screening of the Future?
I’m ready already.
Yesterday’s Happy Monday kicked-off a week of blog posts leading up to the highly-anticipated science-fiction cinematic adventure Ready Player One. A film intertwined with VR-technology that may not be as far off into the future as we imagine has been described as “Pure Spielberg magic” by Empire Magazine’s movie critic Terri White.
The scenes in the real world look gritty and, well, real. The scenes in virtual reality look visually stunning and playfully immersive from an inactive audience perspective.
The making of this cinematic experience behind-the-scenes is equally engaging.
Could this be a modern attempt at Back to the Future-level nostalgia and visions of the future?
We’ll just have to see. Literally.
Happy Monday!
If Steven Spielberg doesn’t get you motivated on a Monday, then I don’t know who can…
Ready Player One premieres in movie theaters later this week (Tickets: Check). And if there’s another book that’s more perfectly written for Steven Spielberg to direct–I’m actually not sure that alternative book exists.
Bottom line: Ready Player One looks uniquely special for Steven Spielberg.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
