Minecraft is an amazing video game. It is also a concept that really only works as a game and shouldn't be made to a movie, which is perhaps why Warner Bros is struggling to make their planned movie adaptation work.
Video game to movie adaptions don’t exactly have the best reputation.

The Departed was a great film, it has all the hallmarks of a classic Scorsese masterpiece, from strong acting, to brilliant dialogue and the talented Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie also won the Scorsese an Oscar for Best Director as well as Best Movie. Now in case you didn’t already know this The Departed is based on a Chinese crime film …
And it’s going to be rated-R like Edge Deadpool and every now and again one of the main characters will break the fourth wall to clarify a rule. Hah! Got you! I’m kidding. I hope, because this sounds suspiciously like what Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn ranted about just the other day. Movies based on the legendary role-playing pen-and-paper franchise …

I’m going to start off unusually today, by quoting myself from when I told you about Bryan Singer adapting Robert Heinlein’s ‘The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress’ two months ago: Now, can someone PLEASE adapt Joe Haldeman’s Forever War – or do we still need to figure out how to make an anti-war sci-fi novel work? Thank you, it looks like …
Fun fact: The official website for 1996’s Space Jam is still live, like some kind of time-capsule of awful 90’s web design. Not so fun fact: That was also the last time a big fuss was really made about the classic Looney Toons series. Yes, there was Joe Dante’s Looney Toons: Back in Action in 2003, but it barely made a blip …
Blocks are big business, yo! With The LEGO Movie not only wowing critics but proving to be a LEGO block under a bare foot to all box office competitors, it’s clear that audiences love movies about building blocks. At least that’s what Warner Bros is banking on, as the studio is developing a feature film based on block building video game …
Blizzard continues to delight players. This time, the developers have shared information about what’s …
