The smash hit indie game Minecraft is coming to the big screen! Warner Bros. today announced that they will be overseeing the production of the film adaptation of the 16 bit wonder. According to Deadline The Lego Movie's Roy Lee and Jill Messick will be producing the film.

Last month a Kickstarter founded fan film based on the game was pulled by the creators, now evidently due to WB's involvement. The game recently became the third most successful PC game, passing 100 million registered users.

For anyone unfamiliar with the game, Minecraft is an open world/sandbox game made entirely from 16 bit blocks. The player has complete control over how they shape the word, building or destroying. What so you think? Will a LIVE ACTION Minecraft film work? Or will it fall off the wayside like all other video game/film adaptations? Sign off your thoughts below?

Wow.
I guess The Lego Movie has inspired more of these sorts of projects. Good luck, WB.

It is sad when a Minecraftmovie is going to be made before Legend of Zelda or Metroid movie

I should have known that it was about time for this. Anyway, I'm predicting that this movie will be a hit.

If the antagonist isn't Herobrine, I'm boycotting.

I'm going to hold back on judging this. Because I thought The Lego Movie was a stupid idea and look how that turned out.

To you that don't know what Minecraft is. Minecraft is a game that you are an explorer that goes around in a blockwize map http://static.planetminecraft.com/files/resource_media/screenshot/1403/minecraft-wallpaper-15_6986165_lrg.jpg and explore to find mineral, and build things with blocks and you can practicly build anything.

Live action? I could go for an animated Minecraft movie, but live action would look really awkward and the characters would look out of place. Something along the lines of The Lego Movie (with a tad more humor) could work, but please please please animated.

Minecraft has more name and recognition then any DC superhero outside of Batman and Superman. There is no way in hell WB is going to green-light a movie about Hawkman over a sensation like Minecraft. I see a cheap Lego Movie clone in the future though about Creativity over following the the rules and sh*t.

I mean minecraft doesn't really have a storyline, its just building, destroying and running around, no point in making a film, kind of like how angry birds is making a film.
