The title says evreything, Mojang and Warner Brothers are working in a project that could be the Minecraft Movie.
Not seeing this. Lego, I can see the idea for a movie there. But minecraft, it's going to be hard. With Lego, you can make a movie with any characters or whatever, but with Minecraft, there's set characters and ideas and world designs to work with.
I wouldn't say Minecraft is any more "fixed" than Lego when it comes to ideas. Whether you want to class something as a "Set/System" (Lego) or a "Biome" (Minecraft), you can still build pretty much whatever you please. What does concern me is rumors that this might be live-action, which would be both an awful decision, and completely nonsensical - particularly when animators like Slamacow have already more than proven how awesome Minecraft animation can be if done right.
I am excited. I saw this announcement a few days ago and was explaining how it is gonna be awesome to my less than ecstatic coworkers =)
I like the idea but people have been making MC movies for a while... all the MC animations that people do are movies
