A Minecraft Movie is an upcoming American adventure comedy film based on the 2011 video game Minecraft developed by Mojang Studios. It was directed by Jared Hess from a screenplay by Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer. The film stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black alongside Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jennifer Coolidge.
Plans for a Minecraft film adaptation were announced in February 2014 when Minecraft creator Markus Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop the project, with Lee and Messick producing. During development, filmmakers Shawn Levy, Rob McElhenney, and Peter Sollett were initially hired to direct, while writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney, Jason Fuchs, Aaron and Adam Nee, and Allison Schroeder were attached. In April 2022, Hess was hired as the new director and Momoa was in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in mid-April 2024. An official teaser was released on September 4, 2024.
A Minecraft Movie is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 4, 2025.
