Jack Black Cast As Lead In Minecraft Movie

Jack Black Cast As Lead In Minecraft Movie

, , , 9

This just in: Jack Black has been called forth to play all the video game characters that Chris Pratt isn’t playing. The long-in-development Minecraft movie has picked him up to play Steve, the lead character and one of two people you can be in the game (the other’s Alex, the girl). The casting comes hot off Black’s performance as Bowser in the Super Mario Bros Movie. As Bowser, Black delivered a passionate ballad of unrequited love for the princess he frequently kidnaps, called “Peaches.” As Steve, Black will perform the ditty…..uh, actually, what would Steve sing? What would Steve DO? Who even IS Steve? He’s got the blankest slate of any video game character I can think of, except for the yellow square in Atari’s 1978 game “Adventure.” I guess they’ll have to figure something out. The Minecraft movie does not have a reported writer, and I hope for their sake they aren’t seriously putting it off for the last minute. Everything else is set up to go. All the

Warner Bros. has made a mint off The Lego Movie and its subsequent spinoffs. Now they’re looking for the next hit, and the stereotypical execu-think is to find the most similar thing possible. What’s popular and closest to Legos, mechanically speaking? Minecraft! WB purchased the rights to a Minecraft movie in 2014. Ideally, they would have had a movie out by now, but the Hollywood machine doesn’t always run smoothly, and what’s been stalling the Minecraft film is a common problem: they can’t pin down a director. Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney, and even Steve Carell have been attached to direct at some point (yes, Carell was going to direct). Now WB feels they’ve found the right guiding hand: Peter Sollett, director of the critically acclaimed “Raising Victor Vargas,” but more commonly known as the guy who did “Nick & Nora’s Infinite Playlist.” Vertigo’s Roy Lee and Jon Berg are listed as producers, and Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, will oversee for authenticity. The news was broken by Variety, who also

A sequel to Minecraft, the game recently acquired by Microsoft, is not likely to go into development in the near future. Speaking in a podcast for IGN, head of Xbox Phil Spencer spoke about how he was wary of creating another instalment of the popular game for fear of splintering the very strong community. Spencer explained that Minecraft 2 might not be the best option for Microsoft, saying: “I don’t know if Minecraft 2… if that’s the thing that makes the most sense. The community around Minecraft is as strong as any community out there. We need to meet the needs and the desires of what the community has before we get permission to go off and do something else. “It doesn’t mean that everything we’re going to do is going to map to 100% of their acceptance, because I don’t know if there is any topic where 100% of people agree. But we look at job one as to go out and meet the needs of the Minecraft community

According to reports from Deadline, Warner Bros. have secured Shawn Levy to work on their Minecraft movie and possibly even direct the feature film. The director has previously worked on fulms such as Night at the Museum, Red Steel and The Pink Panther. A film based on the hit game was first discussed in February, with the game’s creator Markuss Persson revealing that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. about a possible deal. It looks like an agreement between the two companies was signed not long after that with Roy Lee, the producer behind the recent LEGO Movie, on board to help with production duties. Rumors suggest that the movie would be a live-action take on Minecraft rather than an animation adaptation. Someone is trying leak the fact that we’re working with Warner Brothers on a potential Minecraft Movie. I wanted to be the leak! — Markus Persson (@notch) February 27, 2014 The recent acquisition of Minecraft and its developer Mojang by Microsoft for $2.5 billion does not seem
