The only way for this to work is a Lego Movie-styled effort.

But it's WB, so it'll suck.

Spend 90 mins digging.

DIAMONDS!!!

End film.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I just hope it's not too similar to the Lego Movie. It should be something about Defeating that Ender Dragon or something.

Lego Movie was made by Warner's animation division.

While I liked Lego Movie, it has more problems than successes.

If it wasn't for the live action stuff near the end, I probably would have come away from that movie completely placid on it.

Fucking Date Night...holy shit.

Even if the movie is rubbish I'm sure it'll make money. Kids are absolutely bonkers for Minecraft, after all. I imagine WB is aiming to catch lightning in a bottle twice after hitting it big with the Lego Movie?

I really can't see them treating it with the same amount of care that the Lego movie got.

Especially when it's coming from the director of those critically acclaimed Pink Panther reboots.... I see them crapping out a quick cash grab to take advantage of the IP

Uh.. WB made Lego Movie.

Edit: beaten, handily.

 

[Makonero]

That's fine, but looking at this director, I'm not confident it'll be as good as the Lego Movie.

Finally Steve can be the star he deserves.

I hope the story is set in the Swedish woods and has a huge emphasis on occultism and necromancy.

Let the franchise milking begin!

Seriously though should we expect a Minecraft The Movie: The Game?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

YES

Yes. And it'll be an Xbox One exclusive.

a game based off a movie of a game

Shawn Levy? Outside of CGI dinosaurs and robots does he have any animation experience?
