"Aquaman" Jason Momma is reportedly in talks to star in the Minecraft movie adaptation of the game of the same name, voiced the main character Steve. The film "Napoleon the Big Man" director Jared Hess will direct the film, and "Dune" producers Mary Parent and Roy Lee will serve as producers.
Warner acquired the film adaptation rights to the super-popular game as early as 2014, originally scheduled for June 2017, later postponed to May 24, 2019, and then significantly postponed to March 4, 2022. In 2020, it was announced that the withdrawal was indefinitely postponed. Since the film adaptation rights will expire early next year, it is time to start making the film this year.
Minecraft is a sandbox game that focuses on allowing players to explore, interact with, and change the world of blocks, with a very rich and huge simulated survival and life system. The open game mode allows players to create their own buildings and artwork, with a high degree of freedom and no excessive restrictions on the player. Eventually, you can also choose to travel to the "End" and defeat the Big Boss Ender Dragon.
Steve is a character in the game Minecraft, one of the default skins for players and is also often considered the official protagonist. Like everything else in the game, Steve's whole body is made of blocks. It's hard to imagine how such a square-rich world could turn it into a live-action movie.
