Used to be Spielberg wasn't all that keen on doing sequels. Still haven't seen the original one, mostly because his later-period stuff I haven't found all that interesting.

Steven Spielberg's Ready Player Two Sequel Gets First Major Update In Years From Writer Zak Penn (Exclusive)
Ready Player One writer Zak Penn finally gave an exciting update about Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated sequel.thedirect.com
I hope they tone down the need to just toss in a bunch of references and just tell a story more relatable. The idea of someone choosing to live that world full time because of how the real world sucks could be a good story.
Maybe they live in the Brady Bunch house and they drive The DeLorean and things like that until someone from their past comes to bring them back to the real world because their mom has died and has to deal with the desire to sink back into the fake world even more, so he doesn't have to deal with real life stuff which is then made even harder to do when he the fake world starts to go on the fritz and is about the shut down forever killing everyone inside.
Despite that this person would still rather go back in and live what short time left and die in his make believe fantasy than spend the rest of a long life in the real world. A issue being faced by many of the characters in the movie.

Because, as far as I know, the book was like that too. After the first film, the author of the book wrote a second book. If there's a second film, they'll definitely adapt that one.
That's kind of what the concept was in the novel though, which I haven't read, but word is that Spielberg turned it up to 11 once he realized the opportunity for 80's nostalgia, so the problem is as much the novel's fault as it is the movie's fault. It was always a meta-narrative.

Leprechaun being rebooted again. There was the Warwick Davis series, WWE then made their own unrelated movie, then Lionsgate made a legacy sequel to the Warwick Davis original without Warwick Davis, and now here we are. The Saw 4-7 screenwriters and the son of the producer are going to make it.
Other than that, sounds like it’s right on track! 
It was a really small movie so not many people saw it, but Dead Man's Wire was based on the true story of a man who used a shotgun to take someone hostage from the mortgage company he believed did him dirty (look up Tony Kiritsis). Now there's an 8-part TV series called American Hostage telling the same story with Jon Hamm. But it's going to MGM+ so even less people will see that one.
Apparently there's going to be a Spring Breakers 2 starring and directed by Bella Thorne. Without knowing anything about it, it just seems like this will be one of those sequels-in-name-only that has nothing to do with the first movie and no returning characters, likely to go DTV.
