Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the years leading up to and following the conclusion of the massively successful The Hunger Games movie franchise, Hollywood scrambled to find a replacement that would maximize on the popularity of the dystopian genre. In the literary world, a slew of young adult dystopian novels filled up bookstores, all utilizing some of the same fundamental world-building tropes as The Hunger Games.

However, Ready Player Two has languished in development for years. Hollywood has been hesitant to produce it, likely because of the novel's overwhelmingly negative reviews. Steven Spielberg has confirmed his involvement in the Ready Player One sequel, making it seem like it is still a possibility. There was once a time when Ready Player One stood to be a funner version of the Hunger Games franchise with its setting primed for endless pop culture references.

Based on the bestselling novel by Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game stars Asa Butterfield as the titular character, a gifted young man from a future Earth who is selected to join the ranks of a vast human army launching a counter-attack on a hostile alien race. Butterfield is joined by a cast that includes Hailee Steinfeld, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, and Viola Davis.

Close Like Ready Player One, Guns Akimbo plays with the premise of a real-life video game and modern humanity's dedication to a virtual reality.

Then the movie maligned the original story, and nothing was ever said about a sequel in the aftermath. Mortal Engines' ending does set up the sequel, illustrating that they were at least hoping for a long-running fantasy sci-fi movie franchise. Despite its disastrous reception, Mortal Engines has recently found a new life on Netflix, with a resurgence in popularity. It is now unburdened by people expecting that it will be truly great, watching it simply for fun entertainment.
