Simon Pegg is in talks to join Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke and Ben Mendelsohn in the cast of Steven Spielberg’s sci-fier “Ready Player One”.
The film adapts Ernest Cline’s novel which is “set in a virtual world called Oasis, in which a teenager (Sheridan) finds himself competing in a treasure hunt against ruthless foes after the game’s founder dies and offers his fortune as the grand prize” (via THR).
Pegg will play Orgen Morrow, the co-creator of Oasis.
The film is being produced by Spielberg, De Line Pictures’ Donald De Line, Dan Farah, and Kristie Macosko Krieger. Exec producers are Daniel Lupi and Bruce Berman.
