Strange news this morning that there has been a Fanboys-related success story. The film’s writer, Ernie Cline, received six-figures last week for his novel "Ready Player One." Now, just a few days later, he’s stacked up another six-figures of sweet, sweet Warner Bros. bucks in exchange for the film rights.

Ready Player One tells the story of a teen who competes in a virtual treasure hunt after the creator of an immersive online world passes away and leaves his fortune as the grand prize. It’s said to be a mix of Avatar, The Matrix, and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. So expect hair-sex, gun-play, and obese children. In other words, it’s like one of Andy Dick’s pool parties.
