Silicon Valley star T.J.
Miller has joined the cast of Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg's
upcoming adaptation of Ernest Cline's sci-fi novel Ready Player One.
Miller, who earlier
in the year appeared in Deadpool, will play i-ROk, a troller in the otherwise virtual
utopia that is Oasis.
The stand-up comedian
turned actor joins a cast that includes Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Simon Pegg,
Ben Mendelsohn, and Mark Rylance.
"In the year
2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts (Sheridan)
really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as
the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within
this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's
obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power
and fortune to whoever can unlock them. When Wade stumbles upon the first clue,
he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize.
The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront
the real world he's always been so desperate to escape."
Ready Player One opens
in theaters on March 30, 2018.
