BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Rob McElhenney Will Direct #Minecraft Movie

For years, Hollywood has tried and failed to make a good videogame movie. For years, moviegoers have suffered the parade of bad Prince of Persias and worse Tomb Raiders , while shruggingly accepting the excruciatingly passable Resident Evil franchise as a best-of-the-worst consolation prize. Now, perhaps, a new hope: Swedish videogame company Mojang has found an intriguing new director for their Minecraft movie . The company officially announced on their website that the as-yet-untitled movie will be directed by Rob McElhenney , best known Mac on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia . McElhenney created Sunny and co-writes alongside longtime collaborators Glenn Howertown and Charlie Day. Sunny just finished its 10th season and still has at least two more years to go on FXX. But McElhenney has been moving towards his second act recently: Last year he signed with Legendary to write and direct the fantasy film Figment. It’s unclear precisely what the Minecraft movie will look like.
