A Look At The Ready Player One Posters

Article by Aaron Haughton

The Ready Play One variant posters released last week further reinforce the film's pop culture-obsessed future by recreating iconic movie posters using the character's OASIS avatars. The concept is mildly interesting, but it leaves a bit of a wonky taste in your mouth — several of these posters look like a high school student experimenting with Photoshop. Preying on the likes of Blade Runner, Beetlejuice, The Goonies, and The Matrix, amongst others, the posters don't really get us more amped to see the film. If anything, it makes us curious how or if some of these films will find their way into Ready Player One. 

Check out the posters below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

• Breakfast Club:

• Risky Business w/a DeLorean: 

• The Iron Giant: 

• Back to the Future:

• Beetlejuice: 

• Blade Runner: 

• The Goonies: 

• Rambo II:

• Bullet: 

• Labyrinth: 

• Lost Boys: 

• The Matrix: 

What do you think? Is the campaign a bit amateurish? Does it make you more excited to see the film? We want to know. Share your thoughts and feelings in the comments section below, and as always, remember to viddy well!
