Warner Bros. has debuted the first trailer for the long-in-development Minecraft movie, and it looks pretty great. The film, which is based on Mojang’s popular sandbox game, has a big cast of huge names, including Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Kate McKinnon, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge, Emma Myers, and Jemaine Clement.
Since the film was announced more than 10 years ago, people have been wondering how director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) and the writers might make a movie out of a game that has no real story. And now we know–take a look at the trailer for yourself below.
The Minecraft series isn’t known for its narrative. In fact, the fact that Minecraft has no story is part of the appeal. You can do anything, be anything, and build anything you want in Minecraft.
