Following the massive success of "The Lego Movie," it sounds like block-based blockbusters -- a pun no one could possibly refrain from using -- are a sure-fire recipe for Hollywood success. Up next: the Minecraft movie.

Dropping a bombshell on Twitter in the form of a sneaky 128-character admission, Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson revealed that he and Mojang, the studio the 34-year-old Swedish developer formed to manage the title and its expansion, are working with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop a film around the game.

If this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it.

Looks...kinda...mid.

Too sh**ty, too late.

The 3D animated design bringing it to life looks fun, as someone who has never touched the game, but live action people? Eh. If they have to mix in live action, then maybe go the same route as Ready Player One with live people existing in it as their own character.

Well at least it has a director attached that has done some interesting stuff. Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre and Gentleman Broncos (the last one highly overlooked, I like it a lot)

Maybe his talent can show through all the CGI and kid-centric jokes.

I made this a while ago after the trailer came out.

Had to have JB in it…

It was him or Kevin Hart, and Hart was busy with Borderlands.

But we got Jason Momoa.

But we got Jason Momoa.

Did we, though?

[The Deadman]

But we got Jason Momoa.

Just because he's in it doesn't guarantee a good movie.

[Andrew NDB]

Just because he's in it doesn't guarantee a good movie.

So far he's only really helped and not hurt the movies he's been a part of. Sometimes it's not enough to save them (the Conan remake, Aquaman 2), others it's enough to at least make them more memorable than they'd otherwise be (Fast X).

The new trailer is out.

This movie is being rereleased with a meme edition where you can meme away at the theater without getting kicked out. It's on its way to make a billion.
Cape sh-t is dead. Video Game movies are in baby.

The sequel is scheduled for release on July 23, 2027, and Jared Hess will return as director.
