What happened to the Minecraft Movie?

Minecraft is well over 10 years old now we’ve gotten tons of great improvements to the game in addition to three spin-offs and an upcoming one it’s not an exaggeration to say this game is incredibly successful now in a world where companies battle for IPs using Nostalgia baiting and recruit famous

Actors YouTubers and other influential figures to get people interested Minecraft will obviously add some cases unfortunately be put out into this breeding War for money so just like most popular books interesting real life stories and in this case video games Minecraft will be getting its own movies

Sometime in the near future but when will we actually get this movie after years of barely anything will we even get this movie that’s what I’ll be discussing in today’s video I’ll be going over the entire backstory as well as answering the question when it might come out without further Ado let’s get

Right into it Notch Minecraft’s original Creator announced on Twitter seven years ago that Warner Brothers will be working on a potential Minecraft movie Sean Levy was announced to be the director but left picked a project later because of creative differences there’s another film you’re working on that you’ve now

Set parted ways from um Warner’s asked me to develop kind of how might this ever be a story for a movie because it’s not a narrative game and we came up with an approach that felt good to us they’re like that doesn’t sound like if we’re

Gonna see a movie get made we don’t know what we want but that doesn’t feel right was your take funny dramatic what was it was it it was not a comedy it was I guess it had a maybe a bid like it had a bit of a Goonies Flair I’m not even

Allowed to speak of it as much as I have but it was uh it was an adventure movie but you know what it’s not my game they know what they’re doing I’m not you know I think Mojang is still figuring out what they want and it just you know uh

We we gave it a shot and it wasn’t the right fit and so these things happen in July of 2015 Rob mcaleen was set to direct the movie whose Vision was it to have it to be live action in June of 2016 mojing announced the title and

Release date heavy quotes there for May 24 2019 tiles the Minecraft movie in October 2016 Jason Hughes was announced to be the writer in November that same year Steve Carell was set to start it but later left due to scheduling conflicts in August 2018 Rob mcelhaney and Jason fuse both left the project

They were then replaced by the knee Brothers Jim Bernie is now the effects supervisor who worked on Aquaman please keep that in mind and Peter’s light is currently the director and writer for the film but this doesn’t make much sense so what is supposed to write the

Film how come the new brothers are still on board had they left they haven’t said anything but I assume they have an article released on April 16 2019 when the official micro website the movie’s new release date was March 24th 2022 which obviously didn’t happen since we’re in October the article also

Revealed the film’s plot quote the story of a teenage girl in her unlikely group of adventurers after the malevolent Ender Dragon sets off on a path of Destruction it must save their beautiful blocky Overworld end quote honestly it doesn’t seem terrible but judging by recent information its flight has

Probably been changed in addition to development issues I assume not the reason we got this cancellation is because of the infamous kova 19 outbreak recently if you try finding the article about the Minecraft movies original release date it’s been deleted I’m guessing it was deleted when March 4th

Rolled around and we obviously didn’t get a movie or on a April 18 2022 when multiple articles were released saying that Jason Momoa don’t for his acting in Aquaman Who’s involved with the same company Warner Brothers with Jim Bernie is set to start in the Minecraft movie

Given that he’s the only actor confirmed I assume he’s the main character and that the teenage girl and unlike group of adventurers plot has been scrapped now what’s incredibly strange and confusing is that there is a rumor that he will be playing Gabriel the warrior

And if you don’t know who that is you’re obviously new to the channel and haven’t played Telltale Games action adventure story game Minecraft story mode Gabriel was one of the original members of the world’s former Heroes the order of the stone fighting alongside sword Ivor Magnus and elegard it’s strange

Since Minecraft story mode hasn’t been touched since 2017 with no rumors of a season 3 anytime soon or at all especially with Mojang pretending that the game never happened and because it’s difficult to purchase again this rumor opens the door to tons of possibilities and questions will any

Other characters return it’s this entire story based on the adventures of the order of the stone if that’s the case I would imagine that storm will be the main character since he’s the leader of the order of the stone keep in mind that this is just rumor and not confirmed

Even Eric sterp the previous lead writer for Minecraft story mode when asked you had anything to do with the supposed announcements stated that he had no part in this project saying quote yeah I haven’t had anything to do with Minecraft for five years now so I have no answers about this but Mojang

Basically pretends Minecraft story mode doesn’t exist so I would highly doubt this rumor to be true my guess is someone writing the article Google Minecraft characters and so the first obvious non-white character instead I bet that’s who he’s playing and then Twitter ran with it as a fact end quote

However it is confirmed that Jason Momoa will star in it in addition the same Variety article claims that Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess will direct the film and John Berg Kiel boyter and John Spates are the executive’s producers pretty interesting interesting not sure what to believe anymore so now

As Jared hiss the director what happened to Peter select maybe they’re both part of it well that’s pretty much it as of this recording there is a strong possibility that we will get new information since we got some at the beginning of the year with Jason Momoa during Minecraft live October 15th

Similar to how Marvel announces their new projects I could totally see the devil showcasing their casting list characters and concept art for the movie heck it could even be a parody Styles since closing has a fair bit of self-awareness let’s just wait and see all we have 110 now is that the movie

Will come out eventually whether it be 3 5 or 10 years from now my opinion I think this movie should definitely take the animation route as opposed to live action I mean just look at how great the Mario movie looks had to go live action however I’d say take the detective

Pikachu and Sonic round the animation will look much better for a beautiful blocky Overworld it should probably tell the story of Steve and Alex but given that Mojang is hesitant to give a story and said they gave us hints I doubt they’ll be giving us a plot revolving

Around the origins of this world but what do you think about the Minecraft movie will it be good do you have any dream casting ideas or story lines should it be canceled as a whole let me know what you think in the comments below but other than that that does it

For this video thanks for stopping by farewell Foreign
