A sequel to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ready Player One is in the works &nওdash; though Steven Spielberg won't be returning to helm the film. 

The first movie is adapted from Ernest Cline's novel of the same name, and starred Tye Sheridan, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:House of the Dragon's Olivia Cooke, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rogue One's Ben Mendelsohn. 

after the Oscars, Spielberg confirmed that he won't be directing Ready Player Two and will instead produce. "We're in the discovery phase, trying to figure out what's next," Spielberg said of his plans more generally. 

Ready Player Two is Cline's follow-up to the first book, released in 2020. Cline told back then that a sequel movie would happen. "It's in the early stages right now," he revealed, adding, "especially since Hollywoo🐈d is in limbo right now. But I ൩can tell from the experience of making the first movie that everybody had a lot of fun."

ꦍThe foll🌸ow-up novel also follows Wade Watts, and, this time, he's once again searching for a prize in a virtual reality. Way back in 2017, Cline told that he'd "bounce ideas off of [Spielberg]" for his sequel novel. 

As for Spielberg, he was nominated at the Oscars via Maestro's Best Picture nod – Spielberg was a producer on the film. Best Picture ultimately went to Christopher Nolan's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oppenheimer, however. You can read the full list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2024 Oscars winners through the link.
