The first trailer for Ready Player One, the movie based on the novel by Ernest Cline, made its debut today at Comic-Con.
For those who haven't read the book, the story takes place in a future where resources are low and everyone pretty much spends their time in a virtual reality game called the Oasis.
Our hero, Wade Watts, is on the hunt for a hidden easter egg in the game that—legend has it—leads to a huge fortune.
But the trailer had some surprises, even for die-hard fans of the book. Like this Iron Giant appearance!
Or what looks to be Freddy Krueger and Duke Nukem:
It looks like the movie will have a TON of pop culture references from the 80s and 90s, way more than what the book had.
Ready Player One comes out in 2018, and we are READY.
