Zak Penn (The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers, Alphas) has adapted the screenplay from Cline’s novel. Working on Ready Player One with Warner Bros will also mark Spielberg’s return after 14 years; his last film with them was A.I. Artificial Intelligence in 2001. Greg Silverman, President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production, said in a statement,

We are thrilled to welcome Steven back to Warner Bros. We had an historic series of collaborations in the 1980s and 1990s and have wanted to bring him back for years.

The studio has not yet set a release date. Spielberg is just beginning to shoot his adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFG, so Ready Player One is expected to be his next project.

I was soooooooooooooooooo disappointed when I had to skip the meeting where we discussed this book, I had so much to say about it. I really loved it, especially the part about a high school where bullying could be zapped in an instant.
