Why, though?

1. Minecraft is old news. By the time this movie comes out, the kids who played this game will be adults.
2. Video game movies usually bomb and are basically never unironically good.
3. Minecraft doesn't lend itself to a story.
4. Minecraft definitely doesn't lend itself to live action.

All I can think is that some clueless exec thinks there's going to be a boom in game movies in a couple of years and they want to leap on that, or they're pre-empting a nostalgia market, or it's a money-laundering scheme.

a game where you explore and write your own adventures
create your own world

-scripted movie where everything is per-ordained and the audience has no say in the matter-

okay?

Professor Radisson was right. God is dead.

 

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

cant wait for the Fortnite movie in 2030

Or Pong: The Movie.

Wouldn't Fornite: the movie just be Hunger Games with silly dances?
People bought Minecraft: Story mode for some reason, that probably persuaded whatever exec that people are even remotely interested in a Minecraft story.

You'd have thought people would have learned their lesson from the Telltale Minecraft story game, but I guess not. Steamspy cites the Steam userbase as under half a mil with a 75% rating, doesn't count console chumps though.

Wait, wasn't this film supposed to come out like 5 fucking years ago?

Which lesson? Minecraft Story Mode was the only game after the first Walking Dead which made Telltale any money. I don't know how it compares quality-wise to the rest of their output (I detest Telltale), but that thing certainly sold.

Fingers crossed it will end with a post-credits scene where they find that Fortnite bus.

Looks like Steve is now a 'teenage girl.'

Or Alex is the protagonist.

 

[John Titor]

2% chance that this will surprise me and it might not be a cynical cash grab. And I'm being generous.

 

[Clop]

Or Alex is the protagonist.

That's not possible. I never heard of a controversy about "gamers misogynists complaining of a GIRL character in MUH VIDEO GAME MINECRAFT" so she obviously doesn't exist, it's just a mass illusion.

Why is it focusing on a teenage girl and not Steve?

Because women have autism
