🎬 Ready Player Two is happening, and honestly the book being terrible is the best news possible
Zak Penn is officially writing the sequel to 'Ready Player One', with Spielberg back as producer. Ernest Cline's second novel is, by near-universal agreement, a disaster. Wade becomes an insufferable tech-bro fantasy and the whole thing reads like Elon Musk fan fiction published in 2020.
Penn deviated from the first book too, and that's largely why the movie worked. Here he has an even stronger case for throwing out the source material and keeping only the skeleton. The IP is the playground, not the plot. Use it.
