As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Starring Steve Carell?

How do you make a movie about electronic Legos? They did make a Lego movie, but they relied heavily upon other properties that Minecraft doesn't have.

They made a movie about fucking Battleship, a game of reading coordinates off a 2-D plane and responding "hit" or "miss" until one side blacks out from sheer boredom. Minecraft has some Jumanji potential.

Yeah, but Battleship was fucking terrible.

If they go ahead an just use it as a setting for a good story it could work. Seedlings did that and it was pretty good (well, the first season was; the second less so). But it will still require someone to write a good screenplay, which is a methodology almost never used for these sorts of projects.
