Somehow I think he'll do well in his role as "annoying troller in the online forums of the game."

For some reason I don't see home as irok considering on how small of a role he played but I guess he could be annoying enough. I could have seen him as Ogden but I guess he would be too young for the role.

I take it back he can be really annoying so he would rock irok

Still haven't had a chance to read the book, but I assume this is cool/exciting?

It's one oof Wade's most recognizable vehicles that he uses in the OASIS (virtual world). It's a mashup of the Delorean from Back to the Future and Ghostbusters and is the ultimate 80's tribute vehicle.

Seriously, just listen to the audiobook. You'd finish in a weekend.

I can't think f another book where I have a more detailed and "sure" visualization of the story in my mind. More than LOTR.

Im going to have to keep a lot of that in check and accept whatever world Spielberg creates, but Damn I hope it's close to what I pictured. So excited for this one.

I am going to go into this as it only being "ready player one" by name and that's it

Probably going to keep that one a secret until after the movie has been premiered, because it would spoil a pretty huge reveal from the book. Hopefully they don't write it out of the story.

Are they seriously using Birmingham, England as a stand in for dystopian Oklahoma City? I know parts of England are depressing, but geez...

It would be shocking if they did, but it depends on how they handle avatars in the OASIS. Are they CG like the aliens in Avatar or are they filming the actors as they are? If they're filming the actors as they are, then having two actors for one character would be a bit of a stretch for some viewers in a 2 hour film.

Man, I have no idea how they are going to make this movie, but damnit if I'm not going to see the hell out of it.*

*Also said about the new Dark Tower movie

2018 is too far away, so I went back to listen to it again which brought about more curiosity as to who has been cast in each of the roles. Ben Mendelsohn will be playing Nolan Sorrento, and I think they freaking knocked it out of the park with that one!

Still haven't had a chance to read the book yet, but there's some seemingly interesting/pertinent info in this article...


Also, with a March 30, 2018 release - less than a year away - I would be pretty shocked if we don't get a teaser trailer this summer. Seeing as it's Warner Bros., possibly even as soon as with Wonder Woman on June 2. If not then, I'd say with Dunkirk on July 21.

Im kinda confused by this... will his avatar be pretty much Boba Fett or will his personality be like Boba? Boba isn't a DB. I mean he could be i guess.

Confused as well. Figured readers would be able to clarify,

His character is TJ Miller character in many movies pretty much a huge DB.

Just finished reading this for the first time. Awesome book. I have no idea who TJ Miller is supposed to be.

he is playing a version of I-Rok so its confusing i guess

Quote:

The Silicon Valley actor explained that this role is not in the book. He's the only new character created for the film, and he fills an interesting in-between space between the heroes and villains.

"I play i-R0k and basically I am a funny, or at least mildly amusing, Boba Fett," Miller said. "In the OASIS, I am a better player than Aech or Daito or any of those guys. I am sort of unequivocally the best bounty hunter, but I work freelance. While all the Sixers work for IOI and Sorrento, he has to commission me and I get an incredibly high fee to either find people and kill them or make them starve in the game."

Miller spoke to Fandango about his character, named i-Rok, who's not from Ernest Cline's book


I guess some people just make things up when they don't read source material

- I may or may not have talked to two people this weekend who have seen the first trailer.

- One of them may or may or may not have told me it's so cool that they literally teared up.

- The trailer may or may not be hitting later this summer with a certain blockbuster war movie.

I 100% support TJ Miller's character basically being Boba Fett if it means Lucasfilm never makes a Boba Fett movie
