Minecraft Adaptation

In 2012, Mojang received offers from Hollywood producers who wanted to produce Minecraft-related TV shows; however, Mojang stated that they would only engage in such projects when "the right idea comes along."[229]  By February 2014, Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros. Warner Bros.] regarding a Minecraft film.[251] [252]  and by that October, it was "in its early days of development".[253] [254]  The film will be released on 24 May 2019, and is being co-directed by Shawn Levy and Rob McElhenney and written by Jason Fuchs.[255] [256] [257] [258]

In addition, a documentary about the development of Mojang and Minecraft was released in December 2012. Titled Minecraft: The Story of Mojang, the film was produced by 2 Player Productions.[259]  In 2014 an attempt to crowdfund a fan film through Kickstarter was shut down after Persson refused to let the filmmakers use the license.[260] [261]
