Another week. Another video game movie adaption. #AMinecraftMovie is based on the best selling video game of all time. A far cry from its humble beginnings in Mojang, a small town in Sweden. Since its full release in 2011, over 300 million copies of the game have been sold, with almost 140 million monthly active players. Now it’s time for the movie treatment.
The film is written by Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer and Neil Widener & Gavin James and Chris Galletta. It’s directed by Jared Hess, who’s made a name for himself with his quirky comedic sensibilities in Napoleon Dynamite (Vote For Pedro), Nacho Libre and Thelma The Unicorn.
Minecraft thrives on one key ingredient – imagination. It’s essential to solving everyday problems and ensuring your survival.
