The long-troubled manufacturing of a Minecraft film appears to lastly be underway, with a report from movie trade outlet Productionlist saying that it is scheduled to start out principal pictures—that’s, begin making the film correct—on August seventh, 2023 in New Zealand.
The movie shall be directed by Napoleon Dynamite and Masterminds director Jared Hess. Maybe extra shocking is that it will star Jason Momoa, although we do not know as who, with different rumors saying that Pedro Pascal will star as Steve. Supposedly very humorous man Matt Berry, of TV sequence Toast of London and What We Do in The Shadows, may also make an look.
That is proper although, of us: Joel from The Final of Us, aka The Mandalorian, is also Minecraft Steve. Speak about multiverse film potential proper there.
We do not know the plot of this movie adaptation, although many shops are reporting the plot to be that of one of many two earlier, cancelled makes an attempt at a Minecraft film. I anticipate on the very least a repeating jumpscare gag involving the hissing noise of a Creeper about to blow up.
Not that Minecraft actually has a plot within the first place, which might be why it has been so laborious for these folks to agree on what the film must be about. The primary try at a Minecraft film began in 2014 at Warner Bros with It is All the time Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, however by 2018 had fully fizzled out. There was then an try helmed by Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist director Peter Sollett, however that one was canned by 2020.
Warner Brothers will, supposedly, launch this model of the Minecraft film on April 4th, 2025.
