In a recent interview with Collider, the writer and executive producer of Skydance Television’s Sword Art Online Live-Action series, Laeta Kalogridis, said that the series has been sold to Netflix and that the main leads, Kirito and Asuna, will be played by Asian actors.
Just like the Ready Player One movie, it will promote that people get interested in adopting VR headsets like the Pimax 8K.
Plot
In 2022, a virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online (SAO) is released. With the NerveGear, a helmet that stimulates the user’s five senses via their brain, players can experience and control their in-game characters with their minds. Both the game and the NerveGear was created by Akihiko Kayaba.
On November 6, 10,000 players log into the SAO’s mainframe cyberspace for the first time, only to discover that they are unable to log out. Kayaba appears and tells the players that they must beat all 100 floors of Aincrad, a steel castle which is the setting of SAO, if they wish to be free. Those who suffer in-game deaths or forcibly remove the NerveGear out-of-game will suffer real-life deaths.
