The news comes as the franchise celebrates its 15th anniversary.

I’m surprised it took that long.

I can’t wait for Chris Pratt to be voicing Steve.

Don’t be so sure. It could be Dwayne Johnson.

Quick, someone find a Quimbley Tarantino or something to hire so we can put Q. Tarantino on the script!

Minecraft is the most popular video game to ever exist in human history and someone thinks that is an easy market to capitalize on.

Just told my kid about it, and his face broke into a huge grin. I guess that’s the target audience.

Though, Netflix has generally been pretty good with their animated shows, so won’t mind taking a look at what they do with Minecraft myself.

I guess so. I just don’t see where they’re going with it.

When your audience is five years old you don’t really need to go anywhere with it.

I still cant get over the fact the game I played when I was a teen 15 years ago is such a huge hit among kids now.

It’s the video game equivalent of Legos. I think it has staying power in a way few other games have, precisely in the same way that Legos have remained popular toys for generations.

They went full toddler mode with MC a long time ago. No thanks.

Surely this was after “Story Mode” I’m guessing?

I’ve never met any Minecraft player that played Story Mode, but a few had primary school siblings that did.

No idea. Never played it, no idea when it came out, never cared for it. I don’t think it was necessarily a straight cut from one to the other but a gradual transition through various changes with the game and the company. I’d hazard a guess that this transition began before Story Mode though, even if it wasn’t as apparent at the time, as it is today.

Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

There is also a separate live action Minecraft movie in the works. With Jack Black playing Steve.

I hope the director insists on bloody knuckles from punching trees.

They REALLY missed the boat on this one. Maybe if it was 8 years ago. Nobody’s gonna care now. Minecraft is old and leans too hard on bedrock, nevermind that it was PC early adopters that made it what it is. This is the problem with success; it makes good indie stuff with potential into sold-out corporate trash. Happens all the time and Minecraft is no different. Eventually it’ll get sold off to some holding company in Romania or something and be deleted from the Internet.

My kid is under 10 and absolutely adores all things Minecraft. He will be over the moon to hear this news. So will all his friends.

I hope it’s something in the direction BlueMonkey did with Steve and Alex.
Was a fun series.

Natural next step, given the riveting narrative of the games. Truly a masterpiece in story telling.

Real talk though, you haven’t lived until you played Minecraft in VR and looked an enderman in the eye. It hits on another level when it’s literal eye contact, like looking at the wrong guy on the bus and getting murdered for it.
