"Ready Player One" Unveils '80s-Inspired New Poster

Warner Bros. Has unveiled a new one-sheet art for “Ready Player One” which, like its trailers, echoes the '80s vibe. Check out the poster below and watch the film in Philippine cinemas Saturday, March 31.

From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure “Ready Player One,” based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller of the same name, which has become a worldwide phenomenon.

The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.

REEL DEAL: The BFG


Another children's book by Roald Dahl is made into film just in time for his 100th Birthday this September.  The BFG, is now made into film like its "brothers" James and the Giant Peach, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The big adventure is set to open this August 10.

Though I not familiar with the book itself, Dahl's work is something I love for the diverse fantasies he incorporates in his stories and still linking it to the mortal world with a unique way to turning grim realities to a little lighter one. The BFG maybe takes a bigger bite of the real world with the involvement of the orphan girl into the land of the giants.


Though one might have to strangely adapt to the way giants talk, it would eventually sink in to viewers what they are trying to say. The movie is filled with colorful visuals that balances the dark and bland tones of the man-eating giants. Though there is a lot of explaining to do to kids who would be seeing this as it would make them question the real world.

Oscar-Winner Mark Rylance Inspires Love, Friendship as "The BFG"‏

Three-time Tony Award® and Oscar® winner Mark Rylance (“Bridge of Spies”) stars as the Big Friendly Giant in Disney and Amblin Entertainment's new fantasy adventure “The BFG.” Based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl, the film tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country.

It was on the first day of filming “Bridge of Spies,” Steven Spielberg’s dramatic Cold War thriller, that the director realized he had found his BFG. Renowned stage actor Mark Rylance was playing convicted Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, a character far removed from that of the sweet, but simple giant depicted in “The BFG.” While the director was aware of Rylance’s profound range as an actor, and in fact had been following his career for some time, something else clicked that day.
