Minecraft: Mojang and Warner Bros. Movie Deal in the Works

Minecraft creator, Markus “Notch” Persson, wanted to be the first to leak the fact that Mojang is working with Warner Brothers on a potential Minecraft Movie.

In a statement that was issued to Polygon, Notch said his early reveal was inspired by the impending leak in a Deadline article, which claims Warner Bros. has already acquired the rights and that the fledgling deal is already attracting “huge interest”.

“It’s for real. I think every part of that tweet was real, including me wanting to be the one to spill the news about a potential movie,” Notch said.

“It would be nice to tell people when it’s 100% solid rather than to leak it before it’s completely final, but our hands were a bit tied and rushed here.”
