A Minecraft Movie trailer gives us our first look at Jason Momoa and Jack Black ahead of its 2025 release
It took a decade, but we finally have a teaser for the live-action A Minecraft Movie. The first look comes courtesy of a video released by Warner Bros. today that clocks in at just over one minute -- but, hey, we'll take it. The film studio has confirmed its previous target, April 4, 2025, is moving forward with a theater-only release. Yes, once upon a time, it had release dates for May 2019 and March 2022, but the existence of a teaser makes us feel a little more hopeful (gullible?) After a series of directors joined and left the project, A Minecraft Movie is led by filmmaker Jared Hess.

Jason Momoa in negotiations to star in 'Minecraft' movie
A movie version of Mojang Studio's Minecraft is starting to come together. Action hero veteran Jason Momoa is in talks to star in an upcoming film adaptation of the popular worldbuilding game, reported The Hollywood Reporter. While no contract has been signed yet, the possible addition of Momoa is an encouraging sign of life for a film that has been on Warner Bros' backburner. Warner Bros originally planned to release the film in March 2022, but it was shelved due to production delays related to the pandemic, according to THR. The film's troubles pre-date Covid-19; its original director and screenwriters quit the movie in 2014 due to creative differences with Mojang.
