Minecraft Movie Gets New Director, Rob McElhenney
"It's Always Sunny in Minecraft "
Mojang has announced the director of the
Minecraft Movie.
Rob McElhenney is going to be directing the upcoming Minecraft film. Rob McElhenney is known for his role on the FXX series
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". But he isn't only an actor on the show.Rob is one of the creators of the show. He also writes, produces and directs episode of
Always Sunny.
Warner Bros is developing the movie and it's being produced by Roy Lee, the producer of
The LEGO Movie. Back in February 2014 Notch, creator of
Minecraft, announced the news that
Mojang was working with Warner Bros on a
Minecraft film. Since that announcement
Microsoft has bought Mojang and now controls
Minecraft.
This movie lines up with what I assume
Microsoft wants to do with the Minecraft franchise. Expanding it beyond just the game. A few weeks back
Telltale Games released a trailer for the episodic
Minecraft: Story Mode. I expect over the next few years we will see even more spin-offs and adaptations.
Minecraft is available on basically everything including Xbox One, PS4, PC and iOS.
