"A Minecraft Movie," the first live-action film adaptation of the popular video game "Minecraft," will be released simultaneously across the Chinese mainland and North America on April 4.
Starring Hollywood actors Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the film follows four misfits who find themselves struggling with ordinary problems until they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into a bizarre, cubic wonderland. To return home, they must master this world, protect it from evil forces, and embark on a magical quest.
Jointly produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, the film held a preview screening in Beijing on March 31, with several cinema locations replicating scenes from the movie.
