Description
Embargoed to 29th March 2018
Discover the captivating art of Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One.
Our dystopian world lies on the brink of chaos and collapse, but the people have found their salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday. When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune in the form of a digital Easter egg hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. Wade Watts, an unlikely young hero, decides to join the contest and embarks on a reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical world of action, danger, and mystery.
Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on author Ernest Cline's internationally bestselling book, Ready Player One is a hugely imaginative sci-fi adventure.
The Art of Ready Player One explores the creation of the incredible design work, showcasing concept art, sketches, storyboards, and more. The book also features exclusive interviews and commentary from the creative team, forming the perfect companion to one of the most anticipated films of 2018.
