[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55521, member: 1"] Warner Bros.' troubled Minecraft movie is reportedly negotiating with Aquaman star Jason Momoa to voice the main protagonist. According to [URL='https://theankler.com/p/transom-momoa-minecraft-blair-witch?s=w']The Ankler[/URL], Warner Bros.' rights to Minecraft expire in January 2023, meaning the studio must start production on the movie before then. In addition to Momoa, the film has also apparently tapped Jared Hess to direct. Hess is best known for directing Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. The report also states Warner Bros. is looking to turn the Minecraft movie into a franchise if the first movie can get off the ground. Recently, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise has successfully proven a video game movie series can work, with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-won-the-box-office-and-had-the-best-opening-weekend-of-any-video-game-movie']two hits at the box office[/URL], a [URL='https://www.ign.com/movies/sonic-the-hedgehog-3-the-movie']third on the way[/URL], and a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/knuckles-sonic-spinoff-paramount-plus-announcement']spinoff streaming series in development[/URL]. It seems Warner Bros. is hoping Minecraft can be next in line to continue that trend.
