The novel Ready Player One, a near future exploration of the discrepancy between war torn realtiy and a virtual world called OASIS is set to be adapted for film and directed by Steven Spielberg. The small cast is led by young talent like Olivia Cooke as Artemis and Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts. Hollywood veterans like Simon Pegg, Mark Rylance, and T.J. Miller are playing some of the supporting characters. The last of the major characters has been cast, and sci-fi fans should be pleased with the news.
Deadline is reporting that Hannah John-Kamen has been cast in a lead role. The actress has most recently been seen on the Netflix series Black Mirror and as a recurring character on HBO?s Game of Thrones. Most notably she plays the team leader in the SyFy original series, Killjoys. Deadline does not specifically mention the role for which she was cast, but fans of the book will have a pretty good idea of where to find her.
