Minecraft Live Action Movie Announced Starring Tom Holland

, , , , , , , , 0

The Minecraft Live Action Movie was announced last year. In addition to this, Tom Holland is on fire. Which is surprising after his recent injury on set with Spiderman 2. Mojang was excited to announce this new movie, with an expected release in March 2022. The new Minecraft Live Action movie may be the biggest video game film of all time. There has been many successful adaptations, such as the Sonic the Hedgehog movie and Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. We don’t have any other details on this film besides Tom Holland being attached to it. Nonetheless, with Minecraft being the biggest video game of all time, we’re sure that this movie will hit huge box office numbers.

Minecraft Live Action Predictions

Minecraft doesn’t have much of a story. You have the Nether, the End, and the Ender Dragon. There isn’t much to the campaign besides that. Because of this, we’re wondering if this movie will be based on Survival Mode or Creative Mode. With Tom Holland as the lead, it would be an epic film watching him shooting down the Ender Dragon. However, due to this weak plot, we wonder if the film might be based on the games creative mode.

Research suggests that, if the Minecraft Live Action movie is based on creative mode, it would consist of 90 minutes of Tom Holland playing with Legos. Although this sounds boring to some, this is the average Minecraft player’s dream.

Nonetheless, we’re excited to see all our favorite Minecraft characters brought to life. The Zombie, Creepers, Enderman, and more on the big screen. We’re curious if the film’s creative direction will go for realism or keep the game’s noteworthy block style. What are your thoughts on a Minecraft Live Action Movie? Do you think it’ll fill theaters or will it be another video game movie flop?

Naruto Live Action Movie Cast Announced, Surprisingly Whitewashed

, , , 0

A Naruto Live Action movie was announced in 2015. Since it’s announcement, Lionsgate gave very few details on the project. Until today, the only information we had was the logline “Naruto Uzumaki is a teenage ninja who dreams of becoming the community’s leader and protector by becoming the village ninja.” This certainly sounds like Naruto, but this is about as generic as it gets. Western live action adaptations have a bad reputation. For example, The Last Airbender and Dragonball Evolution are infamous for trashing the original material. Nonetheless, Hollywood is at it again. Below is the current, newly announced cast for the upcoming Naruto live action movie.

Naruto Live Action Lead Roles

Naruto / Tom Holland

Tom Holland has been taking Hollywood by storm. After his breakout role as Spiderman, people can’t get enough of him. Fans are unsure about this choice. Many people believe the cast, and especially the leading roles, should be Asian. Tom Holland feels like an easy choice with no respect to the original manga or anime.

Sasuke / Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet might make a good Sasuke. He certainly has the edgy style and dark, mysterious aura. However, fans upset for the same reason as Tom Holland’s role as Naruto. Why cast two white actors for what should be two leading Asian roles?

Constance Wu has had recent some major roles in Fresh Off the Boat, Crazy Rich Asians, and Hustlers. She is an incredibly talented actress. Although she’s a bit older than Sakura is, fans are confident that Constance Wu will nail the role.

Kakashi / Bill Skarsgård

This is an interesting choice. Bill Skarsgard is an incredible actor. His range is incredible. From Pennywise in It to Victor in Speding the Night, Bill Skarsgard can do anything. We’re expecting him to hit a homerun as Kakashi. Not only will he portray the character and all his mannerisms perfectly, he even looks a lot like Kakashi.

When Does the Naruto Live Action Movie Come Out?

The Naruto live action movie still has a long way to go. There has been no date for this film. Nor do we know if it’ll have a theatrical release or straight to streaming. Still in the midst of production, a lot could still change with this movie. This adds to the crazy pop culture of 2020. What are your thoughts? Will this be the first great western adaptation, or is it going to flop like the rest?
