Killjoys star joins Tye Sheridan for Ready Player One
Hannah John-Kamen, the British star of SyFy’s Killjoys has been tapped for a role in Stephen Spielberg’s adaptation of Ready Player One. She joins Tye Sheridan (X-Men: Apocalypse) and Olivia Cooke in the futuristic movie.
No stranger to sci-fi, Hannah currently leads the cast of SyFy’s Killjoys playing Dutch, the bounty hunter with a secretive past. She also had a brief role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and appeared in a couple of episodes in this season of Game of Thrones.
Ready Player One is a novel written by Ernest Cline set in a future society.
In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenager Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.
But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade’s going to survive, he’ll have to win—and confront the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.
Think of it as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for a tech generation. The creator designed this crazy easter egg hunt in order to find an heir for his fortune and control of the game.
Ready Player One will hit cinemas on 30th March 2018. If you want to see Hannah before that then check out Killjoys season 2 when it premieres on SyFy on Friday July 1st at 9/8c in the US and August 4th in the UK.
