The new teaser for Warner Bros. A Minecraft movie gets a little help from some very big friends: Accompanied by the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour”, the trailer welcomes the best-selling video game of all time to the big screen.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, A Minecraft movie is directed by Jared Hess and stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black in a story where creativity is not just a pastime but a survival mechanism.
The film also stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge.
Here’s the synopsis: “Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity not only helps you craft, but is essential to survival! Four outsiders – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks) – are struggling with everyday problems when they are suddenly drawn through a mysterious portal to the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they must master this world (and also protect it from evil things like piglins and zombies) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, skilled craftsman, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be brave and reconnect with the traits that make each of them uniquely creative… the very skills they need to compete in the real world again.”
Director Hess’s creative team behind the camera includes cinematographer Enrique Chediak, production designer Grant Major, editor James Thomas, VFX supervisor Dan Lemmon and costume designer Amanda Neale. Music direction is by Gabe Hilfer and Karyn Rachtman, with music by Mark Mothersbaugh.
Producers are Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson and Vu Bui; executive producers are Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary and Anthony Tittanegro. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present the production of Vertigo Entertainment/On The Roam/Mojäng Aktiebolag and the film by Jared Hess.
A Minecraft movie will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and in China by Legendary East and will be released exclusively in theaters and IMAX theaters in North America on April 4, 2025, and internationally on April 2, 2025.
