Some of you may have seen this guy hanging around MINECON in London a couple weeks ago. He’s Rob McElhenney, and he’s going to be directing the upcoming Minecraft movie.

https://mojang.com/2015/07/weve-chosen-a-director-for-the-minecraft-movie/

Warner Bros. has hired “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney to direct the “Minecraft” movie based on the popular video game that boasts 100 million users worldwide, it was announced Tuesday by Vu Bui, COO of game publisher Mojang.

Roy Lee (“The Lego Movie”) will produce the “Minecraft” movie under his Vertigo Entertainment banner along with Jill Messick. Warner Bros. executive Jon Berg will oversee the live-action project for the studio.

The Wrap

This is an odd choice to me. He's only directed 3 episodes of Sunny and a pilot.

Lock if old.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

What the...? That's random.

 

[xxracerxx]

Rum Ham!

[Veritigo_X]

What the fuck? Haha, suddenly I'm actually interested.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Notch shut down a fan-made Kickstarter last year, so not surprising

 

[boinx]

get a load of this jabroni

 

[Ridley327]

Wait, it's a live-action film? That's, uhh...

Huh.

 

[pizzacat]

You know just give me a movie about Mac getting fat and his idea of personas actually working

 

[Jangaroo]

Please give Country Mac a voice role.

 

[def sim]

ahahaaaaaaa~

 

[Jigorath]

Wait, it's a live-action film? That's, uhh...

Huh.

Well that's certainly a surprise.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Can the movie just be the Always Sunny gang playing Minecraft for 2 hours?

 

[Corpekata]

I want to imagine it is literally Mac directing the movie rather than McElhenney and try to think how he got the job.

[TimeEffect]

[JigglesBunny]

No.
Noooo.

PLEASE STOP WITH THIS MINECRAFT SHIT.

PLEASE. SHUT IT DOWN.

Why the hell is this happening?

Edit: Because people don't seem to understand, I'm joking around, emulating YouTube comments about Minecraft and FNAF.

I'm not seriously screaming over the Internet about things I don't like or care for.

 

[Ridley327]

Well that's certainly a surprise.

I'm really surprised they would want to move away from the art style. It's pretty damn iconic at this point.

 

[KodaRuss]

Hopefully it is as good as Project Badass.

 

[-Horizon-]

Live action wat. Wat.

 

[jello44]

Can the movie just be the Always Sunny gang playing Minecraft for 2 hours?

This would be amazing.

Because a lot of people like those things. Why does it upset you so much?

 

[Afrocious]

lmao

I'm going to watch the shit out of it simply due to Mac

 

[Heavy_D206]

My interest just went from 0 to 100 real fucking quick

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Wtf

 

[NMFried]

Okay so I'm just excited he's directing a movie. Still don't want a Minecraft film though.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Well I'll have to watch it now

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

No.
Noooo.

Stop liking what I don't like.

I don't much care for Minecraft, either

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Call it "The Gang Plays Minecraft"

[robotrock]

Cool. I'll have something to look forward to after I catch the midnight screening of Pixels.

 

[kogasu]

How would a live action Minecraft movie work exactly?

 

[Bricky]

Spoiler

Why the hell is this happening?

They are popular games and popular things make money.

 

[RyoonZ]

Could be a good comedy

 

[ref]

It'll make money.

Makes perfect sense to be making this.

Whether it will be a good movie, well...

 

[Odrion]

No.
Noooo.

It's happening because those two are giant properties now, loved by a generation that you don't belong to.

Welcome to the club, you geezer.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Good pick.

"Directed by Mac" makes this interesting
