Warner Brothers is making a live-action Minecraft movie starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black.
According to Deadline.com, about 300 million copies of various Minecraft games have been sold.
And roughly 140 million people play it every week.
Unless you're me.
I've never come close to trying it.
But based on video captures of the game, I can't understand how this LEGO-ish world translates to film.
But who am I to say?
I had no faith in the LEGO or Barbie movies, and half the world went bonkers over all those.
An anonymous comment on the article explained my feelings better than I think I can.
The problem with the success of The Last of Us and the Super Mario Brothers movie is that Hollywood now thinks that every popular video game can be adapted into a big hit movie or TV show.
Just like the success of Barbie means we'll get a bunch of terrible based on best-selling toy movies. This means we're gonna get a bunch of terrible based on best-selling video game series movies and shows
All I can say is amen, I hope not and oy vey because that's likely exactly what's going to happen what do you think?
What video game or toy would make a great movie?
