So, there’s a Minecraft live-action movie (somehow) coming to cinemas next year. But, check this out, now we’ve also learned that Netflix and Mojang are working alongside WildBrain (Sonic Prime) on an original animated series.
As the gaming-related TV and movie hits keep piling up, Hollywood continues to double down on the interactive medium as the next source of cool stories with mainstream appeal, since comic book adaptations aren’t super safe bets anymore. Of course, we all know it comes down to quality and market saturation (or lack of), but hey, corporations love their trend-surfing, so let them try whatever.
The small teaser, creeper included, arrived on May 30 via Netflix and Minecraft’s social media channels, and while a release window wasn’t shared, the traditional ‘coming soon’ outro is present in the announcement, suggesting it may be releasing on the platform sooner rather than later.
