Minecraft at the cinema: the first trailer of the film sparks debate

The cast also includes Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge, but many fans didn’t like how the video game was adapted to the real world.

The world of video games is gearing up for another foray onto the big screen: Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for the live-action Minecraft movie, and the reactions have been mixed. The trailer shows us a world where the iconic Minecraft blocks mix with real actors, creating a visual effect that some have called “disturbing”, while others have appreciated the originality. Beyond the controversy over the look, the film seems to promise fun for the whole family, with jokes, epic battles and Jack Black to enhance the cast. Of course, there will be moments dedicated to mining and crafting, fundamental elements of the original game.

The cast also includes Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge, while the direction is entrusted to Jared Hess, known for the film “Napoleon Dynamite”. The release in North America is scheduled for April 4. The Minecraft movie is part of a panorama in which the cinematic adaptations of video games are experiencing a moment of qualitative renaissance, with successes such as “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” which accumulated 1.36 billion dollars in revenue, and the “Sonic the Hedgehog” trilogy, another box office success. Minecraft is the best-selling video game in the world, with more than 300 million copies sold worldwide.
