JohnRogers Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The book is popular amongst my friends. I have downloaded it but not read much. My understanding is :rush: music is prominently mentioned in the book. The book is now being made into a film by Disney and helmed by Spielberg. Have you read it??? Do you think Disney will sprinkle :rush: tunes aboot the soundtrack? If :rush: music is absent from the film will that taint the film in your opinion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2011/08/29/2789/Ready-Player-One-author-Ernest-Cline-talks-Rush Haven't read it but I know of it. Oh, "yes" I think there will be some Rush in there somewhere. But it'd likely just be lightly sprinkled in there...similar to how Tom Sawyer was in Small Soldiers. John Williams is providing the soundtrack so I can't imagine there being too many Rush tunes in it. Edited August 17, 2016 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a comic book guy.Not a gaming guy.Not a Disney.guy. And gratuitous Rush references usually don't do much for me either. (see Kevin J. Anderson) I do have Red Star: Sacred Cities but I never read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 The trailer for the film has dropped. I was worried the band was not involved. A little more than halfway through a smile came across my face.http://movieweb.com/ready-player-one-movie-trailer/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 The trailer, like the novel, is packed with pop culture references...to the main character's love of the prog band Rush.http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/ready-player-one-see-first-trailer-for-sci-fi-blockbuster-w493633 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Geddy & Neil are characters in the book -- helping he main character win the game. There's an entire chapter devoted to 2112. If Rush is not in the movie, we boycott. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkingBig Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you weren't 13 in 1980-1985, not sure the books resonates. I played Tomb of Horrors, Tempest, and every video game in the book -- with QUARTERS. Just like Rush is the soundtrack to my life, the book is about a massive video game in a future dystopia. The game represents the fondest memories of my youth. Like listening to people who weren't even born in 1977 talk about what Star Wars should and shouldn't be... it's not your movie.

Relayer2112 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Don't be surprised if the only Rush contained in the movie is some character wearing a t-shirt along with the use of Tom Sawyer in the trailer. Based on the trailer, it looks like they're going to replace most of the book's pop-culture references with things that are Warner Bros. specific. I'm certainly not expecting the book's Rush references to remain. I don't think it's looking good for the movie so far. I loved the book although it's only appeal is the nostalgia, it's no literary masterpiece by any means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
