"Minecraft" is a game in which you can move as you like while collecting 3D blocks in a virtual space called a world, and enjoy creating and adventuring as you like. After being released on various platforms, it was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the "world's best-selling indie game" in 2014, and by 2023, worldwide sales will exceed 300 million copies. It is also used as a teaching material in elementary and junior high schools as it stimulates creativity and creative desire, national competitions are held for its use as a teaching material in programming classes, and it is attracting a lot of attention as a future teaching material that fosters children's independence, creativity, and curiosity. Minecraft is a game that everyone knows, regardless of age or gender.
The new trailer reveals the appearance of new characters and the full story of the long-awaited story. Ever since he was a boy, Steve, the main character, has dreamed of mining in a certain mine that is "off-limits to children". As an adult, he digs and digs and digs in his dream mine, and discovers a mysterious portal that glows blue. The portal that appears in the movie has a teleport function that also exists in the actual game, and by touching the portal, he is teleported to another world. What spread out before him was the "Overworld", a mysterious world where you can create anything you think of.
In this world, where everything is shaped like a square block, trees, lakes, forts, bees, wolves, pigs... you can create blocks by simply pointing your finger and freely combining them to "create". Steve, who was enjoying this world with his creative desire stimulated, suddenly saw a group of four people who were strangers to each other, who were also led by a mysterious portal like him. Garrett (Jason Momoa), a long-haired man in a pink jacket who calls himself "the best gamer of 1989," a mysterious boy (Sebastian Eugene Hansen) who was teleported without knowing why, a young woman (Emma Myers), and a woman (Danielle Brooks) who cannot hide her surprise at the other world, are guided by Steve to see the whole picture of the "Overworld" where anything goes.
In a block-shaped chicken shop with a huge bird object that seems to have been built by Steve, you can make a whole roasted chicken by pouring magma on the bird, which is a bit cruel. Then they are attacked by a horde of pigs riding on balloons and brandishing weapons, and skeletons and zombies that appear at night and attack with fire spears. To face the enemies who are trying to destroy this too-attractive world, Steve and his friends create weapons and armor, including block-shaped swords, in an item warehouse equipped with a large number of bombs and tools.
Furthermore, it is revealed that the portal that teleported them is an "ender pearl", and when Garrett learns that it can teleport to the place where it is thrown, he can't help but try it. He teleports with high excitement, but it is casually revealed that it was "the last one, but don't worry about it" ...? Is there really a way back to the real world? What is the purpose of the square enemies that attack them? Not only do popular characters such as golems and villagers familiar with "Minecraft", skeletons, and zombies that attack if you do not place a torch at your base as in the game setting appear, but the development of both crafting elements and action elements is also depicted.
The protagonist of the story, Steve, is played by Jack Black, who voiced Bowser in "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" (2023), a worldwide hit movie adaptation of the game. In the world of Minecraft, Steve is known as the initial default skin of the player who wears a light blue shirt, and like the setting of the game, he wears a light blue shirt in this work.
The long-haired man in the pink jacket, Garrett, will be played by Jason Momoa from the Aquaman series and Fast & Furious 9. Momoa, who is known for his action-packed work, will be seen in a scene in this film where he "creates" things with great skill, and is likely to become an important character who stirs up the slapstick adventure. The three characters whose relationships are not revealed will be played by Emma Myers, who gained attention in "Wednesday," Danielle Brooks, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Color Purple," and Sebastian Eugene Hansen from "The 0%." "Minecraft: The Movie" will be released nationwide during Golden Week in 2025.
