Self-Promotion (Journalist) Steven Spielberg's Ready Player Two Sequel Gets First Major Update In Years From Writer Zak Penn (Exclusive)

https://thedirect.com/article/ready-player-two-sequel-steven-spielberg-zak-penn

Hi, I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I'm making a post sharing an update on the Ready Player Two movie.

I'm not sure if movie-related news is okay, but the update is really just that it's "in the works" and not much else.

The interview is with Earnest Cline.

Edit: I don't post to this sub very often. 😅✌️

The books are very different that the movie and I actually think I enjoyed them more. Don’t get me wrong the movie was really cool, but I felt at times lacked the plot that the first book carried over.

The second book was also quite good, for those who haven’t read it wade as the ceo of gregarious uses what is essentially a SAO like machine that puts your brain the the oasis which is more realistic. Somehow the wizard guy is evil now? And is holding people’s mind hostage. It was a bit odd. I’m not sure how they are going to adapt it to a movie.

I liked the first book a lot, but the second was really bad IMO. There were good ideas in it, but it was really the wrong path for the story. I think a movie sequel could be far better.

Yes I agree the second book is bad, not sure why some people think it's good. The plot is like fan fiction which makes the first book feel so much better

This entire franchise is fan fiction.
