Update: It’s from Merlin character in Excalibur per It’s filled with so many references that it’s impossible to count, and many of them are quite different from the book. (That darn familiar Tolkien-like incantation quote still eludes me. She didn’t get all of the references to 1980s pop culture, so I filled her in on a few things. So is my 18-year-old daughter, who went with me. I’ve read the book twice and count myself as a fan. Those industries have to do it themselves with compelling products. I don’t think any single industry can count on a film to lift it into the public’s consciousness. HTC, for instance, has created a number of Ready Player One VR experiences to accompany the movie. Or so that is what some companies in the VR industry hope. The movie could play a similar role in popularizing VR among consumers, who may enjoy the movie and take an interest in VR.
The book inspired many people in VR to pursue their own dreams, raising billions of dollars and creating a whole entertainment ecosystem. Virtual reality plays a central role in Ready Player One. I enjoyed myself, and so will anyone who gets a kick out of hunting down pop culture allusions. I caught a premier at the Dolby Theater in San Francisco as part of promotion for Roblox, a virtual world company which has its own sort of James Halliday father figure and creator in Dave Baszucki, the cofounder of Roblox and its virtual world. The tech, game, and virtual reality industries have a lot of hopes tied to Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One film, which debuts on March 29 throughout the United States.
