T.J. Miller (pictured, via) has landed the role of i-Rok in the Ready Player One. The story for this adaptation project comes from Ernest Cline’s 2011 science fiction novel.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Steven Spielberg will serve as the director. Other cast members include Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Simon Pegg, Ben Mendelsohn, and Mark Rylance.
Here’s more from The Hollywood Reporter: “The story is set in a virtual world called Oasis, in which a teenager (Sheridan) finds himself competing in a treasure hunt against ruthless foes after the reclusive and enigmatic founder (Rylance) of the game dies and offers his fortune as the grand prize. Miller will play i-R0k, an annoying troller in the online forums of the game.” (via The A.V. Club)
