The new teaser for Warner Bros‘ A Minecraft Movie gets a little help from some very big friends: Set to the tune of The Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour,” the trailer welcomes the best-selling video game of all time to the big screen.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, A Minecraft Movie is directed by Jared Hess and stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black in a tale where creativity isn’t just a pastime, it’s a survival mechanism.
The film also stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, with Jennifer Coolidge.
Here’s the synopsis: “Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks) – find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.”
Director Hess’ creative team behind the camera includes director of photography Enrique Chediak, production designer Grant Major, editor James Thomas, VFX supervisor Dan Lemmon, and costume designer Amanda Neale. The music supervisors are Gabe Hilfer and Karyn Rachtman, and the music is by Mark Mothersbaugh.
Producing are Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Jill Messick, Torfi Frans Olafsson and Vu Bui producing, with Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza, Jonathan Spaihts, Pete Chiappetta, Andrew Lary and Anthony Tittanegro executive producing. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present the Vertigo Entertainment/On The Roam/Mojäng Aktiebolag Production and Jared Hess Film.
A Minecraft Movie will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures worldwide and by Legendary East in China, and released only in theaters and IMAX in North America on April 4, 2025, and internationally beginning April 2, 2025.
