“Anything you can dream about here, you can make!” Let’s build! Warner Bros has unveiled a teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie, the long-awaited Minecraft film that has been in the works for a while. Currently set to open in theaters April 2025. From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures and starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, A Minecraft Movie, directed by Jared Hess, is the first-ever big screen, live-action adaptation of Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time. The story follows four misfits who are pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld – where they must team up with an expert crafter to figure out way to be creative and get back out of there. Also with Emma Myers, Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge. With production design by Grant Major, costumes by Amanda Neale, and cinematography by Enrique Chediak. This actually seems it should be tons of fun, better than I was expecting, though the cast does look over-the-top kooky. “Be There and Be Square.”
Here’s the teaser trailer (+ poster) for Jared Hess’ A Minecraft Movie, direct from WB’s YouTube:
Welcome to the world of Minecraft – where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins & Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world. A Minecraft Movie is directed by American comedy filmmaker Jared Hess, director of the fun films Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, Gentlemen Broncos, Don Verdean, and Thelma the Unicorn previously. The screenplay is by Chris Bowman, Rob McElhenney, Hubbel Palmer, Allison Schroeder, Peter Sollett, Jon Spaihts. Produced by with Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson and Vu Bui. Warner Bros will debut A Minecraft Movie in theaters starting April 4th 2025 next spring. Does it look any good?
