Is /tv/ hype about this? Could it be Spielberg's next great movie? He got Gene Wilder out of retirement for it.
That book fucking sucked. Holy shit it was bad. "What if children ruled the world and being a child was the most important thing ever."
>>70723623
No, the book was shit
>>70723623
OMG FERRIS BUELLER FTW XDDD
LOL D&D DUNGEON AMIRITE? XD

No. Did you read the book? I think there's a very high chance this'll be the worst film he ever makes
>>70723623
>Is /tv/ hype about this?
The book is everything /tv/ hates. It'll make a billion easy.
Probably
This board has become pleb fucking central
>sword art online ripoff by a gaijin
no
The book was written with the intent of it being turned into a film. This doesn't say anything about the quality of the finished product itself, but rather that it's very filmable and thus harder to mess up.
>>70724888
Well, yeah. The mere fact that it's a popular, acclaimed novel will make most of the hipster scum that inhabits this board turn their nose up at it.
>>70724930
There has never been any moments in /tv/s history were it wasn't any more than pleb central. Take off your nostalgia goggles.
>>70725054
Thats probably because you were too busy crying about waifu posters and how the patricians wouldn't let you discuss Fincher and Tarantino in the film threads
The book is unreadable
>>70725117
Don't you have some mustache wax and PBR to buy, you fucking scumbag?
>>70725193
Exactly as expected
>>70725117
We never had film threads worthy of the name, and we don't have patricians worthy of that name either. It's all just a bunch of pretenders lying to eachother.

>>70723623
>He got Gene Wilder out of retirement for it.
No he didn't.
He asked and Wilder declined, that role went to Mark Rylance who just won an Oscar for a movie nobody watched.
>>70727924
Damn. That's a bummer.
They're going to leave out Dungeons of Daggorath and replace it with an animated WoW clone.
>>70726414
Oldfag here, I did all that in the first 20 years of my life but I didn't write a book
It's Gene Wilders birthday today
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENE

I genuinely don't think there's a single director on earth who could make this shit good

Doesn't matter. Nothing can ever compete with Lincoln.

How can you be this shit?
>>70726627
this.
Its a great book, you autistic hipster neet contrarian faggots just dont understand its brilliance.
just because none of you faggots are old enough to have grown up and experienced the 80s, you just dont understand the book, unlike me and >>70726627 who are old enough to be your dads. let me tell you faggots, that this book is brillant. it makes you experience the 80s and 90s in a futuristic setting like a modern tron. and the author mentions pop cultural important stuff nearly every sentence. its like a wet dream for people like us who never had a real childhood and live inside our nostalgia.
all you faggots who hate it are just autistic hipsters.
grow. the. fuck. up.
>>70729976
You people really have no idea how fucking insufferable you are.
>>70730261
>insufferable
well, killing yourself seems like a reasonable response and the only way out of your predicament, familia.
>>70729836
I wasn't in the mood to watch this at the time, does it have big epic battle scenes?
>>70723623
He got Wilder out of retirement? Has that been confirmed?
>>70730515
No. Just a few dreamy shots of a couple dozen soldiers wrestling in the mud with a voice over.
The book is great.
This movie is going to be like 12 AVGN episodes back to back.
>>70723623
>bunch of jealous nerds shitting on an author because his book is being adapted by speilberg
The book is fine autists. No worse than that GEORGE RR MARTIN white male power fantasy shit you nu-males read.
Spielberg doing sci-fi is always great. It's damn time after all his historical oscar bait films
>>70726414
>Halliday once said that he preferred to pretend the other Indiana Jones films, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull onward, didn't exist. I tended to agree
I have to wonder if Spielberg will include that line in the movie. I will honestly gain a modicum of respect for him if he does.
>>70730408
But I'm not a hipster. I have plenty of reasons to live. People actually like me, for one.
The casting looks like shit though. Ready Player One is about basement dwellers becoming heroes, yet they've got supermodels playing them.
Parzival is fat and ugly yet they got a teen model playing him. Should have cast that fat jew kid from Hot Tub Time Machine.
Art3mis is short and thick yet another teen model with no tits is playing her. Should have went with Ariel Winter.
Og is basically Jeff Bridges but instead of casting him they went with that mick from that Reddit of the Dead movie is playing him and he's a fucking manlet.
>>70730858
>white male power fantasy shit
Fuck off back to Tumblr, faggot.
>>70731174
When will thinwashing stop?
I haven't read the book, but don't they have a heap of cameos from other properties? Like at the end they've got a gundam and other mecha. Do you think they'll have to remove some of that stuff for legal purposes?
>>70731241
>another Jew with no tits
Fuck I can't wait for Hollywood to crash and burn.
>>70731529
>Like at the end they've got a gundam and other mecha.
I hate how BBT and shit like this pretends to like anime since it's a part of "nerd culture".
>>70731921
What if they genuinely like those anime.
>>70723623
Y'see, what confused me most about the book, was that you could farm internet dungeons for internet money that was just as good as real money. I had no idea how the economics of that society worked.
I found that hard to believe, but I guess bitcoin is a thing.
>>70731979
Don't be ridiculous. If they actually liked those things, then they'd never want to do anything with them. They'd put those things up on the shelf like treasured possessions, only dusting them off once in awhile.
Don't you know anything? TRUE fans want the things that they like to stay completely separate and away from anyone else. And they certainly don't want to share those things or get other people to enjoy them!
>>70731979
Faggots who go on about being a nerd, and proclaim their love of every entry-level movie, TV show, comic, video game, and anime are never genuine.
>>70731979
They call an EVA unit a mech, so fuck them.
If everyone who was "hype" about this movie was dragged into the street and beaten to death the world would be a better place.
>I wish someone had just told me the truth right up front, as soon as I was old enough to understand it. I wish someone had just said: “Here’s the deal, Wade. You’re something called a ‘human being.’ That’s a really smart kind of animal. Like every other animal on this planet, we’re descended from a single-celled organism that lived millions of years ago. This happened by a process called evolution, and you’ll learn more about it But trust me, that’s really how we all got here. There’s proof of it everywhere, buried in the rocks. That story you heard? About how we were all created by a super-powerful dude named God who lives up in the sky? Total bullshit. The whole God thing is actually an ancient fairy tale that people have been telling one another for thousands of years. We made it all up. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. “Oh, and by the way … there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Sorry, kid Deal with it."

>>70729976
Epic bait, friend.
>>70732343

He won't. No references to anything he was involved in at all.

>"The movie won’t have any of my films in it. I’m not putting myself in this movie…They reference so many ’80s movies. I’m doing the whole pop culture thing. I’m just going to leave myself out of it. I can’t do that. Too self-referential."
>And this isn’t just Spielberg’s directorial output he’s talking about. There won’t be any references to the like of Jaws and the Indiana Jones movies, but he’s also apparently removing any nods the films he worked on in other capacities as well. So, don’t expect to hear much about DeLoreans and Back to the Future, or the Fratellis, One-Eyed Willie, or the rest of The Goonies.
>>70731529
Having Spielberg's name on it will open a lot of doors, but yeah, a lot of the Japanese stuff I'm really wondering if/how they're going to get the rights.
Spoiler for the book:Climactic battle features the main character becoming Ultraman and fighting the bad guy, who is controlling Mechagodzilla.I don't know if the companies who control those two properties will be cool with having them battle in an American film.
>>70733977
1. You need to learn what acclaimed means
2. Almost all of those are anti-Christian specifically or anti-religion in general
>>70734053
>m-m-muh Christian persecution
Inherent Vice had nothing to do with any sort of religion, No Country for Old Men was very in tune with absolute morality with its depiction of the man who keeps his word and atunes himself towards a sense of right and wrong versus someone who has no moral compass and reacts with cowardice towards changing tides, and the Road's entire message was keeping true to your humanity at all costs in a world that's gone completely hay-wire.
Those three alone are some of the highest acclaimed and most highly regarded books of the twenty-first century. And even if they were anti-Christianity in any way shape or form, so fucking what? Get off your fucking cross. More than eighty percent of the American continent ascribes themselves to your world view. Grow up and stop pretending that you're about to be thrown to the fucking lions, which didn't happen the way that your persecution complex insisted that it did.
>>70732824
I was unaware of this book's existence and holy fuuuuck
>>70729836
no I think it ends with the civil war starting or him writing something? I wonder what it could have been
>>70734053
Not to mention that the entire narrative of Twilight skewed itself towards traditional marriage and preserving virginity prior to wedlock, and was written by an incredibly devout Mormon. Meanwhile, Harry Potter couldn't be more in tune with Christian themes of redemption, atonement for sin, the saving grace of innocence, and traditional themes of good versus evil.
>>70734170
All 3 are anti-Christian actually, and the fact that you immediately try and back pedal with saying "well that doesn't matter!" proves you know that. There's no point in continuing a conversation with a demonstrated liar.
>>70734254
Prove that they are anti-Christian, shitposter.
>>70734254
How are any of those novels anti Christian, especially after I outline precisely how, at the very least, NCOM and the Road are anything but anti-Christian.

I don't know if she'll go for the big birthmark but I've watched all her movies and all of Bates Motel. She can pull off the cute/hot but insecure.
>>70733979
I'd watch it just for that ultraman fight
>>70724677
So was Jaws, from what I've heard, and that pretty much made Spielberg a household name.
He also adapted Jurassic Park to something arguably equal in quality to the book. Plus, removed some of the weird lizardy tongue shit from the book dinos.
Still would have liked to see the raptors in the fog though.
>>70734254
Yeah. That's what I fucking thought.

The book was really wretched.
I love the '80s too but that book turned me right the fuck off.
Imagine Wil Wheaton with that shit eating grin namedropping random 80s shit one after the other. That's Ready Player One.
