The first, and seemingly impossible challenge, a car chase through a crazily fantastic version of ‘New York’, teems with pop culture references you’d still be spotting after a dozen viewings along with blink-and-you’ll-miss-‘em nods to classic film locations. The humbler offices of OASIS in its early days, and the cafeteria where Wade studies the recorded interaction between Halliday and his one-time business partner Ogden Morrow ( Simon Pegg) is Solaris House, the former HQ of Sun Microsystems HQ, Sun Park, Minley Road, northwest of Farnborough in Surrey. It pops up again, as the Avengers' 'Berlin' facility in Spider-Man: Far From Home. The new building used in the film, which divided opinion by looking more like an airport terminal than a place of learning, dates from 2012. It soon earned the rather sneering nickname of the 'Socialist Eton'. The sleek office of IOI, with its glass walkways and jauntily slanted wall, where CEO Nolan Sorrento ( Ben Mendelsohn) oversees teams of geeks combing through Halliday’s beloved 70s and 80s pop culture for clues, is Holland Park School, Airlie Gardens, West London W8.įounded in 1958 as a progressive comprehensive school, the smart catchment area of Holland Park, west of Kensington Gardens, included a fair share of political media celebs. The Stacks are the digital extension of an outdoor set built on Leavesden’s backlot and the Studio itself provided the cavernous interiors of IOI (Innovative Online Industries), an ambitious corporation hungry to take over the digital creation using three ‘keys’ leading to a vital Easter Egg left by the OASIS’s late creator James Halliday ( Mark Rylance) which can be discovered by only the most dedicated online gamer.
