The sleeping Iron Giant of WB has really woken up over the last week, as all the new Ready Player One images, posters, and trailers will attest.  While yes, this maybe isn’t a completely ‘new’ trailer, there most definately are new images and sequences in it that we haven’t seen yet. Built mostly as a collection […]

[ Editor’s note: This Ready Player One activation walkthrough is brought to us by Bleeding Cool correspondent Brandon Wainerdi from SXSW.] Capitalizing on the hype machine that surrounded Sunday’s premiere of Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Ready Player One also rented out an enormous building in the heart of South by Southwest (SXSW) to build even further excitement. Fans […]

Do you remember those Magic Eye books from the ’90s? Apparently someone at WB sure does, because this set of three Ready Player One posters are a big giant 3D homage to them. Posted early this morning, the three posters are color coordinated with the Keys from Anorak’s quest (copper, jade, and crystal) and offer some […]

Yeah so I personally am more than a little excited for Ready Player One, as you may have gathered from the numerous pieces I’ve done covering the ramp up to tonight’s premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW), and world opening on March 29th. It made sense for Warner Bros to premiere the film there, given author Ernie […]

We knew it was a distinct possibility, but this morning it was confirmed that Warner Brothers’ upcoming film adaptation of Ernie Cline’s Ready Player One will have its official world premiere during South by Southwest (SXSW).

Ready Player One really waited ’til the last minute to start to drum up more public… something… ahead of the Warner Bros. film being released next month. Aside from some pretty good trailers, the sheer lack of story-appropriate viral marketing is largely disappointing. Why no release of Anorak’s Invitation? Why no true “join the Oology […]

Yes yes, I know, I’ve been talking a lot about Ready Player One and the film isn’t even OUT yet.  Part of this is because the book, “Ready Player One” by Ernie Cline, had such a strong impact when I read it. Part of the excitement anytime an existing property gets made into a movie is […]

We’re getting ever closer to the release of Ready Player One next month, and that means we’re finally starting to see some merchandise.  Specifically- the AMAZING Funko Pop Vinyl collection being released for the film. Seriously, this is a fabulous set of figures INCLUDING THE KEYS that make such an important appearance in the source material […]
