In predictable news, Spielberg’s adaptation of Ready Player One has been moved from its slated December 2017 release date to avoid a conflict with Star Wars Episode VIII, Sadly, it’s been moved back rather than forward as I’d hoped.

The film, which is based on Ernest Cline’s novel about a teenager’s journey through a virtual world on the hunt for a millionaire’s fortune, will now hit cinemas in March 2018.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that it’s not just navigating a galaxy far far away, but major sporting events too. “The movie will now open on Easter weekend, with the studio planting the movie after the Winter Olympics and before the commencement of the [soccer] World Cup, held in Russia.”

The switch breaks up the three films in three years streak Spielberg had originally planned. Ready Player One would have completed a trio that also included 2015’s Bridge of Spies and this year’s The BFG.

Only Olivia Cooke and Ben Mendelson have been cast so far, playing female lead Art3mis and villain Nolan Sorrento respectively. Jurassic World’s Nick Robinson has been linked with the lead male role of Wade, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

In January an open audition ad went out looking for people to try out for the Wade role, alongside supporting players Daito and Shoto.
