?Ready Player One? is a book that celebrates fandom of nerd culture and is obsessed with even the tiniest details. So it?s surprising that Ben Mendelsohn ? who plays villain Nolan Sorrento in Steven Spielberg?s upcoming film adaptation ? says his performance won?t try and mimic the novel. ?I?m not trying to be faithful to the book Sorrento at all,? Mendelsohn told TheWrap. ?I sort of see that stuff as playing a song live,? Mendelsohn elaborated.
