Ben Mendelsohn, who appeared in last year’s brilliant Mississippi Grind and will be seen in Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is set to join the cast of Steven Spielberg‘s 2017 movie Ready Player One, the adaptation 2011 science fiction and dystopian novel by Ernest Cline.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mendelsohn is still in early talks to play the villain of the piece. Olivia Cooke is already cast as the female lead though we’re hearing that the hunt for the male lead of the piece is still on.

According to the trade, Ready Player One is set in a virtual world called Oasis, in which a teenager finds himself competing in a treasure hunt against ruthless foes after the game’s founder dies and offers his fortune as the grand prize.

Spielberg is still working on his adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFG with Mark Rylance. That movie will release on July 22nd, 2016, while Ready Player One will debut on December 15th, 2017.
