Shawn Levy will direct the Minecraft movie
Shawn Levy has been announced as the director of the Minecraft movie. He will also develop movie, while Roy Lee (The Lego Movie) and Jill Messick (Mean Girls) will produce.
After the success of The Lego Movie earlier this year, a light bulb went off at Warner Bros. and they realised there was money to be made in movies about building blocks. With that in mind, Warner Bros. quickly set about buying the rights to the video game Minecraft.
Not much is known about the Minecraft movie with there being no word yet on details regarding plot or cast. The game itself isn’t plot driven, so this leaves the door open as to what the storyline might be about. Levy recently directed the family comedy/drama This Is Where I Leave You, and has Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb due out at the end of this year.
