READY PLAYER ONE set photos show Steven Spielberg directing and car chase action sequence!
The lucky residents of Birmingham, UK have had a lot to talk about recently as their streets were transformed into a wild, futuristic, and super shady neighborhood for Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the YA novel Ready Player One. Thankfully, some of them were kind enough to share their finds on the Internet!

The scene was set up for a car chase sequence, shown in part in the video below. Is that Aech’s RV we spot pinned between two cars?! We think so!
