Steve Carell In Talks To Star In Forthcoming Minecraft Movie

Meryl Streep as... The Creeper!

Can't stand Carell for some reason, so it's a definite no for me.

How is this even related to Nintendo? Minecraft is a property of Mojang, not Nintendo. Can someone explain this to me?

@Wandman5612 An educated guess: lack of news.

@Wandman5612 there's a version of the game on the Wii U, complete with Mario-themed content. None of which will be referenced in the film, but it's as relevant as the Tetris movie trilogy

Steve Carell is good, but I'm still unconvinced that Minecraft will work as a movie.

You know it's a slow news day when this is news on a Nintendo site.

Also, a Minecraft movie sounds about as good of an idea as a Tetris movie. Yet their both being made... -_-

"kinda funny".Is that a lowball dig on carell? Or just a reference I don't get?

Why? Why is this news? Why are they making a minecraft movie? Why do I exist? Why are we here?

A Minecraft film? The new Eraserhead.

Why?

There's an excellent chance that this movie will be worse than this article

@Ichiyama 🎶In heaven, everything is fine...🎶

@MagicEmperor Or more accurately in that case, The Streeper?

May 25th, 2019

So, same day as Zelda Breath of the Wild finally releases?

Where is that Tetris trilogy already? Come on guys, one pointless videogame cash in at a time, please.

Steve Carrell. Tut tut tut. 🙏

@WilliamCalley I will be running a comparison upon release.

Steve Carell plays an arrogant, out of luck architect called Phil who dabbles in hallucinogenic drugs.

After a meeting with a local authority and some irate environmental activists goes particularly badly, Phil takes a long stroll back home to do some soul searching.

Passing an ancient field which has been marked for construction under one of Phil's own projects, he spots a small, squarish mushroom growing on the verge.
Phil mistakes the mushroom for a rare Chilean Magic Mushroom, which is said to provide a great trip. Without the due consideration that is required before consuming wild fungi of unknown origin, Phil chews it down.

Suddenly, a naked hippy sprints out from the nearby bramble bushes, brandishing a Pick Axe and screaming that he will murder Phil.

As Phil runs, the mysterious mushroom begins to take effect....

Does anyone honestly think anything good might result from a Minecraft movie? I mean, seriously?

In other news, the prime minister of Sweden visited Washington today, and my tiny little nipples went to France.

@Solid_Stannis Which class did they fly on?

@MarioPhD Another Oscar goes into her pile!

Everyone saying this movie will turn out to be crap...what did everyone say when a Lego Movie was announced? Look at how that turned out.

i dont get how this is related to nintendo

Minecraft is on Nintendo systems now, that's why this is news here. Because those people who enjoy Minecraft on a Nintendo system may be interested in this news.

Not interested? Don't click!

Anyway, is this an animated film? I can see that working, like the TellTale games that focussed on story. Live action less so but stranger things have happened.

@Solid_Stannis They can't be that tiny then.

@Damo Oh. Didn't even notice until maybe 2 days ago.
