According to Deadline, Steven Spielberg will helm the Zak Penn-scripted project, returning to Warner Bros. for the first time since 2001’s A.I.

Considering that The Goonies is one of Ready Player One‘s biggest influences, Spielberg actually seems like the perfect choice to direct the adaptation (although it’s hard to think of another project more suited for Edgar Wright).
