Ernest Cline and Dan Farah have co-founded Readyverse to develop a metaverse for Ready Player One and other IPs.
Ernest Cline, the author of Ready Player One, and Dan Farah, the producer of Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of the story, have partnered with artificial intelligence (AI) and metaverse company Futureverse to develop a digital universe for Ready Player One.
Together with Futureverse’s Shara Senderoff and Aaron McDonald, Cline and Farah will co-found Readyverse Studios, a firm that will launch a metaverse called the “Readyverse,” which they described as a “platform of interconnected digital experiences.”
Futureverse announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Readyverse Studios has partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to bring the Ready Player One franchise exclusively to the metaverse and across Web3. In addition, Readyverse will maintain exclusive Web3 rights to all future intellectual property (IP) from Cline.
