THR: SImon Pegg will play Odgen Morrow, the co-creator of Oasis, in [RDYP1] Antibody Mar 17, 15:46

Guess they want to avoid the obvious casting of a yet another Steve Wozniak lookalike stand-in {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 15:49

Pegg is also much younger than in the book. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 16:00

Presumably they are going to age him with makeup or CGI since he's supposed to be adult age in the 80's and this is set in the future. notfabio Mar 17, 16:23

Unless they're NOT going with 80's nostalgia and going with the 90's or 00's. Spielberg has said he wasn't as interested in that aspect {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 16:29

But that would raise holy hell.....with the book fans. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 16:29

wonder if there are any fans here. i didnt like it {nm} islander Mar 17, 16:40

I did the audiobook thing, I thought it worked well enough, Armada however....... {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 16:42

Loved RP1 but Armada was so bad I ddn't even finish it... {nm} journey Mar 17, 18:06

Huge potential for Ready Player One. I think it is a perfect vehicle for Spielberg. Armada was a mess (just finished it). {nm} Willroast Mar 17, 18:40

That should be Ogden. I miscorrected THR's typo of Orgen. Antibody Mar 17, 15:55

I thought it was the Gallagher brothers who created Oasis {nm} numbersix_99 Mar 17, 16:31

I can't wait for this movie. The 80's nostalgia is essential. {nm} BlackThursday Mar 17, 17:26

I'm also sure he'll just cut out the references to himself in the movie. Might come off egotistical. {nm} BlackThursday Mar 17, 17:35
