So, here we are again—another cinematic feast dropping right into our lap just as Mercury starts doing its infamous retrograde shimmy. Coincidence? I think not. As the cosmos throws us curveballs, A Minecraft Movie sneaks into our lives, promising a wild ride where creativity isn’t just a hobby—it’s a damn survival skill. Imagine four perfectly imperfect misfits, including the ever-charismatic Jason Momoa and the hilariously unpredictable Jack Black, getting yanked through a pixelated portal into a cubic wonderland that’s part playground, part battleground. Now, if the stars are nudging you to break out of your routine and embrace your inner crafter, maybe it’s time to dust off that controller and prepare your living room for some Chicken Jockey chaos. Streaming hits May 13, but if you’re more of a collector or simply love your home theater setups, the 4K Blu-ray drops June 24, packing loads of behind-the-scenes goodies and Dolby Atmos sound that’ll transport you straight into the Overworld’s colorful madness. Curious how this pixel-packed adventure got stitched together by some of Hollywood’s finest behind the camera? Yeah, me too. Let’s dive into the juicy details. LEARN MORE
Prepare your living room for its own slice of Chicken Jockey mayhem. This year’s big moneymaker, A Minecraft Movie, is set to hit digital streaming next week on May 13, but Blu-ray.com has now reported on the details that Warner Bros. has released for the Minecraft Movie 4K Blu-ray home release. The spring blockbuster that stars Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Hansen will be releasing both HD and Ultra-HD Blu-rays on June 24.
The description reads,
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.
The director’s creative team behind the camera includes BAFTA-nominated director of photography Enrique Chediak (“127 Hours,” “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts”), Oscar-winning production designer Grant Major (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” “The Meg”), editor James Thomas (“Pokémon: Detective Pikachu”, the “Borat” films), Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Dan Lemmon (“The Jungle Book,” “The Batman”), and costume designer Amanda Neale (“The Meg,” “What We Do in the Shadows”). Casting is by Rachel Tenner. The music supervisors are Gabe Hilfer and Karyn Rachtman, and the music is by Mark Mothersbaugh (“Thor: Ragnarok,” the “LEGO®” movies).
