When news broke that there was going to be a live-action film based on the video game, Minecraft, more than a few people wondered how the hell that was going to work.
You never know what you’re going to get with adaptations—I was extremely skeptical when I first heard of the Barbie movie, for example, and Greta Gerwig proved me wrong. But this latest trailer for A Minecraft Movie doesn’t give me confidence. In it, we learn the origin story for Jack Black’s character, Steve, who apparently was just some guy (a miner, in fact) who digs up a blue cube and is transported to a land of blocks.
The official synopsis for A Minecraft Movie reveals more of the plot, whether we want that info or not:
The movie is directed by Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess and is set to premiere in theaters on April 4, 2025.
