It was only a matter of time until Minecraft got a movie, even if it got pretty close to being boxed up and placed in storage; The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the Warner Bros. live-action film is very much on the way, with Aquaman actor Jason Momoa in final negotiations to star and Napoleon Dynamite filmmaker Jared Hess to direct the Minecraft adaptation.

Shawn Levy (Free Guy, The Adam Project) was amongst a number of names previously attached to the project, as well as It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney,  Steve Carell and Peter Sollett. Roy Lee and Dune‘s Mary Parent aboard to produce. Jill Messick will also receive a posthumous producers credit for her role in developing the film prior to her passing in 2018.

Very little is known about the project so far, though a probable synopsis floating around goes as follows: “The malevolent Ender Dragon sets out on a path of destruction, prompting a young girl and her group of unlikely adventurers to set out to save the Overworld.” No further casting has yet been announced.

Gaming films seem to be the big thing at the moment, so news of a Minecraft movie finally getting the greenlight comes as little surprise. The recent successes of the aforementioned Free Guy and Sonic films, as well as Uncharted and the excitement surrounding the upcoming The Ghost of Tsushima, have proven there’s a market hungry for this kind of adaptation.
