Minecraft at the Movies
After the outstanding success of the Lego Movie it now appears that our little block friend may now be hitting the big screen as well.
It has recently been revealed that Warner Bros are developing a film version of Minecraft.
Warner Bros have recently acquired the rights for Minecraft to be shown on the big screen and are currently designing a live action movie. It has been noted that Lego Movie producer, Roy Lee will help develop the Minecraft movie project.
Currently no release date or spoilers about the Minecraft movie have been announced but the creator of Minecraft, Markus Persson has spoken about the project on twitter.
Markus wrote, "someone is trying to leak the fact that we're working with Warner Brothers on a potential Minecraft move," Markus then goes on to state that he "wanted to be the leak!"

Since the release of the Lego movie it has earned more than £167 million in only three weeks, and due to this success a sequel is already looking promising.
However film adaptations of best selling games have always had a some what rocky past in Hollywood and many of the projects in mention have never gone beyond discussions such as Halo, Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock. But hopefully Minecraft will take after it's yellow cousin and make it to the big screen.
