Whereas it may be a little bit of an informal affirmation, a Prepared Participant One sequel is coming – simply do not count on Steven Spielberg on the helm.
It should not actually come as a lot of a shock that Prepared Participant One is getting a sequel, seeing because it made a boatload of cash on the field workplace, and now Spielberg himself has confirmed that one is in reality within the works. Talking to Showbiz411 after the Oscars, when requested about what’s subsequent for the longtime director, he stated “We’re within the discovery part, attempting to determine what’s subsequent.” Spielberg was particularly requested a couple of Prepared Participant One sequel as properly, however he stated he’ll simply be producing this time round, additionally confirming that it’s on the best way.
It isn’t the primary time we have heard a couple of sequel – unique writer of the e-book Ernest Cline advised Inverse in 2020 that one is “within the early levels proper now, particularly since Hollywood is in limbo proper now,” referencing the pandemic which had shut down the movie trade. Presumably the movie will adapt the 2020 novel Prepared Participant Two, additionally written by Cline, which once more follows protagonist Wade Watts as he as soon as once more goes on the hunt for a brand new mysterious prize. And who stated Prepared Participant One did not have any type of originality?
The primary Prepared Participant One movie launched again in 2018, six years in the past now, so if this sequel does find yourself occurring it’s going to probably be near a decade for the reason that first got here out. I am positive it’s going to nonetheless make a tonne of cash although, as individuals love nothing greater than with the ability to level at a display screen and say “oh hey I do know that one!”
There’s not likely some other particulars in regards to the movie, so for now you will simply have to attend to see who finally ends up directing it, and if any of the forged will return – or if it’s going to even observe the plot of the second e-book.
