Markus “Notch” Persson, the developer of the popular block game Minecraft, announced on Twitter that Warner Bros. is planning to bring Minecraft to the cinema. According to his tweet, it was important to him to betray him before anyone else could see the information.
Also interesting is
He was probably referring to the previously published report at Deadline, which already mentioned that the American film studio had acquired the rights to the filming of the developer company Mojang.
Many well-known scriptwriters and directors would have expressed their interest and as a producer was supposedly Roy Lee, who already participated in the currently very successful film "The Lego Movie". There is no date for the Minecraft movie at this time.
Whether the filming of Minecraft is similarly successful, remains to be seen. However, the block game enjoys a large fan base. Recently, Persson also reported on Twitter that over 100 million people played Minecraft.
Also the sales figures are right, because with the sales of all Minecraft versions the game was sold over 33 million times. This is one of the top 5 open-world (or strictly open-sandbox) games.
Without a given game goal, the player has the opportunity to create an avatar and create his own 3D world using dice-shaped blocks. This world can then be explored to gather resources, fight monsters, and process its blocks to other objects.
Game resemblances are becoming increasingly popular as "Resident Evil" or the filming of "Prince of Persia" have already provided for full cinemas. Minecraft is currently not the only game to focus on film studios, as there is also a film adaptation of the popular real-time strategy game "Warcraft" scheduled for 2017.
