The video game “Minecraft” is a pop culture phenomenon. Since its release 15 years ago, hardly any other game has had such a strong impact on the gaming world. Now the game is to be made into a film. But how does the block world become a blockbuster? The first trailer provides – questionable – information.
These stars are in the “Minecraft” movie
Warner Bros. has now released the first trailer for “A Minecraft Movie” – and yes, it is actually a film adaptation of the popular video game “Minecraft”, which was released by Mojang Studios in 2011.
How do you actually develop games and what are the trends in the scene?
In “Minecraft,” gamers can explore an open game world filled with caves and dungeons, build their own buildings and devices, and fight nasty monsters.
The film’s star cast is impressive: First and foremost, self-confessed gaming nerd Jack Black, who already played Bowser in the 2019 video game adaptation “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”.
Auch im Cast: “Orange Is the New Black”-Star Danielle Brooks, “Wednesday”-Schauspielerin Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge (“The White Lotus”), Comedy-Star Kate McKinnon (“Barbie”), Jemaine Clement (“What We Do in the Shadows”) und “Dune”-Darsteller Jason Momoa.
Since its release, the sandbox game has gathered a huge fan base. Fans can buy different versions of the game as well as merchandise – like a bath bomb collection! In short: “Minecraft” rocks.
That’s what the film is about
Four outsiders enter the “Minecraft” world through a mysterious portal: Garrett (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Dawn (Danielle Brooks). To get back home, the group must embark on a dangerous adventure.
Sounds a bit like the movie “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” in which Jack Black also starred.

“Minecraft” trailer disturbs fans
But anyone who knows Minecraft knows that one of the game’s distinguishing features is its pixelated look. And that’s also the reason why many fans find the trailer so inappropriate. It even surpassed the “dislikes” of the first “Sonic the Hedgehog” film!

His first draft in 2019 met with so much hostility from the fan community that the film producers had to redesign the character to avoid a film flop!
“First Sonic. Now the Minecraft sheep. Realistic animation will ruin us all,” X-user @tommyinnit sums up the mood of the fanbase.
X-user @MinecraftMeme16 shared a meme showing what fans actually wanted – and what they (will) get instead. He wrote: “Guys, Minecraft is like the 2019 Sonic movie trailer.”
