“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” star Olivia Cooke is in negotiations to play the lead role in Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One”, reports THR.
The film is based on Ernie Cline’s sci-fi novel which is set in a virtual world called Oasis, in which a teenager finds himself competing in a treasure hunt against ruthless foes after the game’s founder dies and offers his fortune as the grand prize.
Cooke will play Art3mis (aka Sam), a Canadian blogger who becomes the teen’s love interest and competitor.
Spielberg is producing with Donald De Line, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Dan Farah.
“Ready Player One” is scheduled to hit cinemas on December 15, 2017.
