Ready Player Two Film in Development
Ready Player One-author Ernest Cline has indicated that a sequel film to Ready Player One is in development. The sequel book to the Ready Player One novel, Ready Player Two, was released last month and has received mixed reviews (like the film adaptation for the first book).
That has not deterred the people behind-the-scenes from moving ahead with a sequel to Ready Player One, after all, if there is one thing that the sequel will have going for it is name recognition. The first film had an $150 million budget plus its marketing budget (which was probably $75 million) and made $579 million at the world-wide box office, so Warner Bros. didn’t lose money on Ready Player One.

If done correctly, history may repeat itself with Ready Player Two. Ready Player Two‘s plot synopsis: Ernest Cline recently said this about the sequel film: If the sequel book is flawed, which the first book was in its third act (with its heavy Mary Sue moment), hopefully that can be fixed. If Steven Spielberg returns behind the camera, at least the film will be pretty and competently directed.
