There"s a scene near the beginning of Ready Player One that could only have come from Steven Spielberg. Set inside a virtual reality world called Oasis", players must complete a hazard-filled race to the finish to collect a key the first of three to unlock the now deceased Oasis founder"s huge fortune. The film"s hero rocks up in Back to the Future"s DeLorean DMC-12 because 80s alongside the heroine, who rides a bike modelled after 1988"s seminal anime film Akira. Along the way, there are crashes, jumps, evading a T-Rex from Jurassic Park, and a King Kong hell-bent on destroying all in his path. It"s a genuinely heart-pumping scene. Gloriously anarchic. And a lot of fun. It"s why Simon Pegg the Cornetto trilogy" and Mission: Impossible and Star Trek and Star Wars and Spaced star signed up; a multi-talented actor, writer, and producer, who is as comfortable beheading zombies as he is riding shotgun with Tom Cruise along Morocco"s back streets in a BMW M3. But we"ll come to that later.
