Emma Myers (Wednesday) has joined the cast of the ‘Minecraft‘ live-action film alongside Jason Momoa. Filming is scheduled to start at the end of the month in New Zealand.
Directed by Jared Hess and written by Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer, the movie is an adaptation of the first-person survival game developed and published by Mojang Studios, available on multiple platforms. The franchise, initiated in November 2011 with its first installment, recently introduced ‘Minecraft Dungeons’ in May 2020.
Recently, Pauline Chalamet was confirmed as the female lead in ‘Minecraft,’ with Momoa as the male lead. Matt Berry, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen are also joining the cast.
‘Minecraft: The Movie’ Plot:
The Minecraft movie’s plot is still unknown, with different versions considered. One concept focused on “people taking agency over their experience in [the] digital landscape,” while another revolved around a teenage girl and her group saving their world from an Ender Dragon. It’s unclear which ideas will make it to the final film. Despite Minecraft’s lack of a defined plot, the movie aims to capture the essence of the game’s open-world building and survival. Players, alone or with friends, create structures and face challenges from creatures like creepers and zombies, mirroring the diverse modes in the game.
The film is produced by Jon Berg, Cale Boyter, Vu Bui, Roy Lee, Jill Messick, Momoa, Torfi Frans Olafsson, and Mary Parent. The production involves collaboration between Mojang Studios, Microsoft, Vertigo Entertainment, Legendary Pictures, and On the Roam. Warner Bros. Pictures will handle distribution.
Myers became well-known for her role as Enid Sinclair in the Netflix series ‘Wednesday,’ a comedy horror show.
