Silicon Valley's T.J. Miller Joins Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One
The co-star of Deadpool and Yogi Bear joins Steven Spielberg's adaptation to play an annoying online troll.
According to Deadline, Miller will be playing i-R0k, who likes to troll the online forums of the popular game that Ready Player One follows. Miller joins a cast that includes Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Simon Pegg, Ben Mendelsohn, and Mark Rylance.
Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline, takes place in a future dystopian future where the world is obsessed with a virtual reality video game called OASIS. For more on the progress of the film, head here and here.
We recently spoke with Ernest Cline about his new novel, Armada, and about the difficulty of working in Hollywood. You can read that interview here.
