Ernest Cline’s ( I like his website with the old Atari game cartridges) Ready  Player One ( this part of the site is coming soon but best to bookmark it now if interested) has been snatched up by Warner Brothers as the Variety article below ( partial as usual) explains. So waht is ready Play One about you may ask for those fans of Cline’s you know something about it. For us that saw it on the web and had to go searching here is the novel info that I found so far from Aint it Cool News.

READY PLAYER ONE – In the near future, outcast teenager Wade Watts escapes from his bleak surroundings by logging in to the OASIS, a globally networked virtual utopia where users can lead idyllic alternate lives. When the eccentric billionaire who created the OASIS dies, he offers up his vast fortune as the prize in an elaborate treasure hunt. Along with gamers from around the world Wade joins the adventure, and quickly finds himself pitted against powerful corporate foes who will do anything, in the oasis or the real world, to reach the treasure first. Think Willy Wonka, The Matrix, and Avatar all rolled into one.

Well that is as much as I could find out. If any one stumbles her and would like to share more on it please feel free to share.

Warner Bros. has bought “Ready Player One,” snapping up feature rights to the debut sci-fi novel by screenwriter Ernie Cline (“Fanboys”) for high six figures.

The studio has attached Donald De Line to produce with Cline’s manager Dan Farah. Sale of the property to Warner closed late Friday after it topped bids from Paramount, a day after Random House won the book publishing rights for North America.
