Ready Player One...

Street Fighter II (Blanka, Ryu, Chun Li), Overwatch (Tracer), Chucky, and a ton more cameos...looks like it'll be worth multiple viewings.
 
The first trailer showed what looked like the Assault Rifle from Halo.
 
Going to wait to watch this trailer (hopefully) in front of The Last Jedi!

This is my second most anticipated movie right now! I listened to the Wil Wheaton unabridged narration of the book a couple months back. (He even mentions his own cameo in the story) Screw the haters! I loved the book, nostalgia glasses and all!
 
at 1:57 theres some battle toads running in the front line of the army

maybe a battletech/mechwarrior mech in the background

theres something that resembles a guardian from botw in the far back but doubt nintendo would allow such allowance (cant say its too late/new to insert since tracer from ow is in there)

adam west batmobile is in one scene

the bunny next to chun li looks like it could have come out of five nights at freddys... theres three characters behind them that looks like the should be familar/famous-ish

theres a gundam

chucky jumping and stabbing guys in the neck...
 
I hope this movie is as good as the trailer makes it out to be, I'm really looking forward to it!
 
That leg tho.....

The only "mash-up" Spielberg has ever done, involved a pile of potatoes in the shape of Devil's Tower.

Wasn't it produced by Spielberg's company?

Back to the Future, yes. Roger Rabbit, no.

....Animaniacs though, he did produce. That's WB, and I'd support some type of cameo.

Yeah, I guess you're correct. He was exec producer, along with Kathleen Kennedy. Looking it up on imdb, there seem to be a lot of Spielberg's Amazing Stories cronies involved with that movie. Still, Spielberg said he was writing himself out of Ready Player One, yet he kept the BttF Delorean in the picture. Why? Because he sees that as Zemeckis's movie, not his. The director is the creative force, not the producer. I wouldn't call either a Spielberg movie. Just saying.

...with the exception of Spielberg's own Poltergeist, which has been rumored for decades to have actually been directed by Spielberg (who only has producing credit). Tobe Hooper (of Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame) couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag. Edit: I did love Salem Lot.That movie was innovative, but that's it. He definitely did not direct Poltergeist. I think this may have actually been confirmed recently.

Walt Disney Pictures purchased the film rights for Who Framed Roger Rabbit's story in 1981. Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman wrote two drafts of the script before Disney brought in executive producer Steven Spielberg, and his production company, Amblin Entertainment.


Disney released the film through its Touchstone Pictures division

Yeah, I just mentioned that above. He and Kathleen Kennedy exec produced. It was right from the beginning, but come on. It isn't like he directed or wrote the movie. Like I said, Spielberg said he would remove references to HIS movies in RP1. He left in the Delorean in because Back to the Future was not his movie, but Zemeckis's movie, the same as how Who Framed Roger Rabbit is Zemeckis's movie. Meaning no creative input from Spielberg was really even necessary.

Just saw that, my bad

But I still believe he’s got plenty of “pull” to get company’s to band together with such a pop culture heavy film. Does suck that he wrote himself out of it :’(

I doubt Warner doesn’t want to hold back either, maybe Disney, but we do see Star Wars poster in his room...so if they could bring stars wars props and characters like they did with the Lego Movie than who knows, besides them :p

Just let it be good, please :)

No doubt Spielberg didn't direct BttF, it's all Zemeckis's movie. I was just referencing Amblin as a producer, being Spielberg's company, as a force to get products/characters/items into a movie that otherwise might not have been. I'm sure it's a lot easier getting people/companies to have their IP's used in said movie when Spielberg is involved, in any which/little way.

These are really good comments. I too really hope that Spielberg has the "pull" to get plenty of non-WB properties pulled into the movie. Star Wars merch was all over Poltergeist and ET, back in the day before the um, Disney empire took the properties.

..and ok, I now get the concept of having Spielberg attached to Roger Rabbit could have been persuasive in getting so many properties together. That was truly unprecedented, at the time.

I also just hope he's still got the chops for this. I'm not sure how much Spielberg's understands the '80s nostalgia when he was so busy creating parts of it, if that makes sense. (Somehow, I bet Zemeckis actually does) I haven't seen a Spielberg Sci-fi film since AI, and I think that was even highly underrated. He seems to really like making smaller political thrillers starting Tom Hank's, rather than science fiction, these days. Does he even understand the geek culture required for this movie? Well, the doesn't even have to truly understand it, just recognize it and portray it on screen. He is definitely the perfect director for this project, on paper, but somehow, also a risky one.
