So, there is a Minecraft live-action film (in some way) coming to cinemas subsequent yr. However, test this out, now we have additionally discovered that Netflix and Mojang are working alongside WildBrain (Sonic Prime) on an unique animated sequence.
Because the gaming-related TV and film hits hold piling up, Hollywood continues to double down on the interactive medium as the subsequent supply of cool tales with mainstream enchantment, since comedian e-book variations aren’t tremendous protected bets anymore. After all, everyone knows it comes right down to high quality and market saturation (or lack of), however hey, companies love their trend-surfing, so allow them to attempt no matter.
The small teaser, creeper included, arrived on Could 30 by way of Netflix and Minecraft’s social media channels, and whereas a launch window wasn’t shared, the normal ‘coming quickly’ outro is current within the announcement, suggesting it might be releasing on the platform sooner slightly than later.
This is not the primary time Netflix has hosted a Minecraft story for the entire household, as Telltale Video games’ Minecraft: Story Mode, an episodic point-and-click online game, was ported to the platform in late 2018. Following the closure of Telltale, the Netflix launch of the sport was eliminated in late 2022. Whereas the corporate was rapidly relaunched, Story Mode by no means returned to Netflix. Who is aware of, possibly it will come again forward of the sequence’ launch.
So far as everybody is aware of, this new sequence is not linked in any technique to Warner Bros. Photos and Legendary Photos’ formidable tackle the franchise, which not too long ago wrapped filming and has a formidable forged that features Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, and Jemaine Clement.
That adaptation is being directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) from a screenplay by Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer (Center Faculty: The Worst Years of My Life). We’re nonetheless clueless about the way it’ll appear and feel, however we would not be shocked if Warner finally ends up having one other Barbie-sized hit in its palms, given how large Minecraft continues to be practically 13 years after its full launch.
