Minecraft has been cooking for a while. But, director Jared Hess is encouraged by what they've accomplished so far. Speaking to The Salt Lake Tribune, the filmmaker talked about the upcoming video game adaptation. With so many titles becoming movies now, fans expect a certain respect for the source material. Hess knows the Minecraft fans are legion, and he's prepared to give them something they can really be excited about. The director brought up the reaction to the original Sonic the Hedgehog live-action design as an example of when that expectation can work against you.

"I think anybody that does any IP, they just want to avoid an ugly 'Sonic' situation," Hess mused. "I just can't disappoint the 10-year-olds, or they're going to murder us." Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Jack Black, Kate McKinnon, Emma Myers and Sebastian Eugene Hansen are all starring in the Minecraft movie.

Minecraft is currently building to a theatrical release on April 4, 2025.
