Jason Momoathe acclaimed movie star who plays Arthur Curry in the film Aquaman is aligned with another big Warner Bros. production, but unlike the superhero, this role seems like something unexpected for the talents of Momoa. The Hawaiian actor is in final negotiations to star in the live-action film of Minecraft to be produced by the studio, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
Since its inception in 2011, Minecraft has revolutionized the world of video games through this fun and pixelated universe that allows players to use blocks to create structures and worlds. The game became quite a sensation, reaching over 100 million users just a few years after its launch, leading to Microsoft acquiring Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.
Warner Bros., for its part, has been developing a project based on the game for years. Given the success of the game, it was to be expected that the studios would see money behind a possible film, and several stars have been rumored to get behind the project, including the director of The Adam Project, shawn levyalong with the star It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Rob McElhenney.
In any case, the film seems to have been left in the hands of the filmmaker of napoleon dynamite, Jared Hess, who will write and direct the project that the Aquaman actor will star in. Later, Hess also directed other comedies after the cult hit, such as free nacho with Jack BlackY Masterminds in 2016, with Zach Galifanakis, Jason Sudeikis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon. Likewise, none of these films were received with the same enthusiasm as Napoleon Dynamite.
Still, we find some hope in the project, as movies based on video games have been on a roll lately. Last year, shawn levy Y Ryan Reynolds surprised the box office with the sensational FreeGuyand this year we have seen the success of the adaptation of Uncharted with Tom Holland and Mark Wahlbergas well as the revitalization of Paramount since the saga of Sonicwhose sequel is currently sweeping the global box office with the help of Jim Carrey and Idris Elbe.
The producer of dunand (film in which Momoa also worked) is also behind this new production, along with Mary Parent and Roy LeeY Jill Messickwho will receive a posthumous production credit for developing the film before his death in 2018. Executive producers include Jon Berg, Cale Boyter and Jon Spaihts. The popular video game comes from Sweden’s Mojang Studios, with Lydia Winters and Vu Bui de Mojang also producing the film.
Momoa and Warner also have as next premiere to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, sequel of the 2018 film, which will be released in March 2023. The original movie of james wan (who returns for part two), has grossed over a billion dollars and has proven Momoa’s appeal on the big screen.
