Yeah, there's still supposed to be a Minecraft movie, and as hard as it is to imagine a Jason Momoa voxel, we could see him as Steve.
It looks like a Mad Libs that came off the shelf already scribbled, but the well is deeper. Warner Bros. is behind the movie, and they have Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess helming the movie, in case you were wondering what the style would look like.
The questions are already overflowing: will the movie look realistic or will it stick to the cube roots of Minecraft? Will he take himself seriously like World of Warcraft did, or will we see a Minecraft-themed version of Nacho Libre humor?
The opportunities for outright disaster seem to outweigh those for a surprisingly deep and meaningful film. Maybe even on par with other legendary video game movies.
The best result is probably something akin to the original Lego movie, which combined a respect for (plastic) blocks with a visual flair and a cleverly told story about creativity and sharing. This kind of approach might also make more sense, as Momoa has previously acted, both in person and voice-only, as Aquaman, while Hess has recently been attached to a few animated projects.
It's also very possible that a Free Guy-style live-action movie will come out. If we can all see Jason Momoa hitting blocks with a pixel pickaxe, it'll be worth the price of admission, even with second and third mortgages for popcorn and milk rags.
