Ready Player One’s Ernest Cline Talks Spielberg’s Gaming Passion
Ready Player One is currently in theaters, and we had the chance to sit down with the author of its source material. Not only did Ernest Cline craft the original book, but he is also credited alongside Zak Penn as screenwriter for the film treatment. If you want to hear Game Informer's full thoughts on the film, check out our bonus podcast where we dive in deep.
In an extended interview for The Game Informer Show podcast (click here to subscribe), Game Informer’s Ben Hanson had the chance to go in depth with Cline about his inspirations, working together with Spielberg, and just how insane it is to see his work brought to live on the big screen.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
