We're just around a month or so away from Ready Player One and as the marketing campaign gets underway, Empire has now released two new photos from the upcoming Steven Spielberg blockbuster.

The first photo sees the legendary filmmaker on-set directing Primetime Emmy-winner Ben Mendelsohn (Captain Marvel), who is playing the power-hungry villain of the picture Nolan Sorrento. The picture reveals Sorrento logged into the OASIS at presumably the IOI headquarters as he attempts to hunt down Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) and the High Five.

The second photo offers up a look at Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) as James Halliday and Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible - Fallout) as Ogden Morrow. The scene will likely be a flashback to when the dynamic duo created the OASIS and may possibly be something we see early on when Watts is doing his Easter Egg research.

Check out the two new photos below:

Plus, check out a new TV spot with some fresh T-Rex footage:

Welcome to a world of pure imagination. #ReadyPlayerOne – in theaters March 29.

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.

In honor of another great 80's throwback...... and the first Black, African, Wealthy, Royal family in a movie with a predominantly Black cast "Coming to America". Eddie Murphy did it first.

I'm still not sure about this movie.

I feel like it will have some cool parts, but mostly be shit.

@BloodyBed - I read the book. I was not impressed. It seemed like endless lists of things from the 80's that the author liked and descriptions of the character playing old video games.

I think there is a lot of potential in this concept. Hopefully Spielberg can deliver on this better than the author did.

the big movie I'm most excited about this year, James Gunn did a Spielberg homage with Guardians of the Galaxy, Uncharted and Tomb Raider games, Stranger Things, so many more inspired by him, looking forward to seeing what the man who created the Blockbuster does with this film, it's a must see, unless you're not a film fan.
