From television to cinema and from cinema to the world of video games? Jason Momoa could star in the live-action Minecraft movie, the best-selling game of all time. Read more info in this note!
Jason Momoa He had great and recognized roles in both series and movies. He is best known for bringing to life khal drug in game of Thronesa Aquaman oa Duncan Idaho in dunes. However, this time we could see him mining diamonds in the film live action from Minecraftthe best-selling game of all time.
The first time people started talking about the movie Minecraft was in 2014. Years after its announcement, the live action suffered many delays and several changes of directors, some of them were: Shawn LevyRob McElhenney Y Peter Sollett. However, as reported by The Ankler, the draft Warner Bros. beside Mojang Studios will have as director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, Masterminds).
The next movies where we will see Momoa are: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdomwhich is scheduled for March 17, 2023, and fast and furious 10. It seems that this list will be added Minecraftsince, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is in “final negotiations” to star in that movie. However, as there is no projected release date yet and very little (or almost nothing) is known about the plot or the cast, it seems that at Minecraft He has enough left to reach the big screen.
In addition to Jared Hess as director, the film about the popular video game will have Mary Parent and Roy Lee as producers, while Jill Messick will receive a posthumous credit for working on the film before his death in 2018. On the other hand, Jon Berg, Cale Boyter and Jon Spaihts will be the executive producers and Allison Schroeder and Peter Solett They will write the script. Mojang Studiosthe Swedish video game developer behind Minecraftwill produce through Lydia Winters and Vu Bui.
Now, a game that is based on extracting materials, manufacturing objects and building all kinds of structures with blocks in a 3D open world, seems complicated to adapt to the big screen because it does not have a central story. Let us remember that the Minecraft is seen as a role-playing game, where players create events and develop their own stories. However, if something similar to what we saw in the movie of FreeGuyexpectations rise.
Markus “Notch” Persson created the Minecraft for Mojang Studios and was released in 2011. It didn’t take long for the video game to become a worldwide hit, and in 2014, it received an offer from microsoft for 2.5 billion dollars, a figure that was 20 times more earnings than the studio had obtained in 2013.
In 2021, Minecraft It had almost 140 million monthly users and has sold 238 million copies since its launch, making it the best-selling video game of all time.
The popularity of this game could make the movie live action have a lot of success or a lot of negative reviews, as happened with most video game adaptations in recent years.
