Steve Carell is in talks to star in the Minecraft movie.
Because Hollywood still wants to try to make a good movie based on a video game - fingers crossed for December's Minecraft [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_(film)], the video game equivalent of playing with LEGO bricks.
That might not sound like it lends itself well to a film, but it does allow the filmmakers to get creative with the story and essentially use the Minecraft world and idea and create a feature film around that. After all, when LEGO did that, Goonies [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/8771-The-Lego-Movie][/i]-like, but Minecraft developer Mojang nixed that idea.
At present, Steve Carell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Always_Sunny_in_Philadelphia] is in talks to play the lead - although he is not yet confirmed to do so. Minecraft: The Movie is scheduled to be released on May 24, 2019, and will be shown in both 3D and IMAX, because gimmicks are cool.
