I doubt that's in there. There is that big car race that clearly replaces some sort of trial in the book.

I just hope they bring in

I'll be pissed if he's not in this.

I tend to agree. I think they'll replace that challenge with something more "exciting" like the car race. It's a cool bit in the book, but it's not something that translates well to on-screen action or tension.

Not only do we know that the huge car race is in here in some capacity, we also know that it isn't replacing

Joust
since we can see that in the first trailer.

So will the sequel be titled READY PLAYER TWO or READY PLAYER ONE, PT. II?

The sequel should be called "CONTINUE?"

The sequel will be titled “Leonard Part 7” in order to score massive meta pop culture nerd points.

Looks like they have the Spartans from Halo in there. That's kinda cool

Based on the trailers, this movie is going to make my head explode trying to identify all the geek-culture references.

That trailer plays like a remake of THE MATRIX at five times the budget.

Sure. Because he wrote the damn book it's based on and adapted the screenplay as well.

70s? Everyone in Ready Player One is obsessed with the Eighties. What about that trailer suggested the Seventies besides the song they’ve been using (which is really about theme and story of the movie)?

I've been reading the book and enjoying the hell out of it. I know there is no way this movie will be able to capture the book's way of conveying the nostalgia, but I think it might be pretty good in its own right.

A BIRTHMARK!!!!!
. Seriously, that's it.

I do think that they show WAY too much of the ending in that later trailer, including much too much of the actual people that Wade meets in the real world.

No biggie there -- that key was the very last thing you see in the first teaser trailer.

Neither with me. It was a odd statement.

All of the things that people are saying “They show too much of this or that” in the trailers are only spoilers for this of us who read the books. For everyone else, it’s just a mish mash of random bullshit, so they should be fine.

Correction: 80s.

Spielberg has made a career out of revisiting the past...a very nostalgic guy.
