In the film, based on a book by Ernest Cline who also co-wrote the film, everyone on Earth is addicted to a virtual reality game that allows them to escape the harsh realities of their futuristic world. When the creator of that game dies, he leaves behind clues that he says lead to his vast fortune. And so the hunt beings. In the footage, a teen named Wade (Tyler Sheridan) says he was born in 2025 but wishes he was born in the ’80s. His generation is “lost” because there’s nowhere left to go — except for an escape into a virtual reality world. He puts on a headset and enters a world where cars race in between wrecking walls and robots fight cowboys. (Other characters put on entire suits to play the game that Spielberg says let the players feel touch, pleasure and pain in the virtual world.) Cline teased that there will be lots of old video game easter eggs in the movies. A few in the footage included the the Iron Giant, Freddy Krueger and the Delorean from _Back to the Future._ Spielberg said he worked for two and a half years to bring the virtual world to life. “When I read _Ready Player One_, it was like the most amazing flash forward and flash back at the same time to a decade I was really involved in, the 1980s, and to a future that’s out there waiting for all of us.” Spielberg also revealed the movie will premiere in March 2018. The cast includes longtime Spielberg collaborator Mark Rylance, _Silicon Valley’_s T.J. Miller (sporting an E.T. T-shirt at the panel), _Rogue One’_s Ben Mendelsohn, _Hot Fuzz’_s Simon Pegg and Hannah John-Kamen, who played a First Order officer in _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4867763/comic-con-san-diego-steven-spielberg-ready-player-one/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4867763/comic-con-san-diego-steven-spielberg-ready-player-one/"},"headline":"First Footage of Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One Includes Iron Giant, Delorean, Freddy Krueger","datePublished":"2017-07-22T19:06:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T16:39:38.494Z","description":"Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One, a film about virtual reality, is littered with '80s references, including Freddy Krueger and Iron Giant","url":"https://time.com/4867763/comic-con-san-diego-steven-spielberg-ready-player-one/","keywords":["movies","Comic Con","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt31ddc7f38925f1b1/6988d6a122fb85e6dce2210d/gettyimages-531347844.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt31ddc7f38925f1b1/6988d6a122fb85e6dce2210d/gettyimages-531347844.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The BFG (Le Bon Gros Geant - Le BGG)\"- Photocall- The 69th Annual Cannes Film Festival","caption":"\"The BFG (Le Bon Gros Geant - Le BGG)\"- Photocall- The 69th Annual Cannes Film Festival","creditText":"Samir Hussein—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4867763/comic-con-san-diego-steven-spielberg-ready-player-one/","name":"First Footage of Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One Includes Iron Giant, Delorean, Freddy Krueger"}}]}] ```
