Minecraft-makers cancel film inspired by game
Mojang, the maker of Minecraft, has intervened to block the creation of a film set in the game's block-built world.
Birth of a Man's creators had launched an Kickstarter appeal for $600,000. (PS366,000) to be able to finance the production.
Just a few hours after the project was launched, it was canceled without explanation from the project's creator.
Mojang founder Markuss Persson later posted a message on Twitter to explain the reasons why it was shut down.
"We don't allow [half-a-million-dollar Kickstarter projects] based on our [intellectual property] without any deals in place," wrote Mr Persson, also known as Notch, in a tweet. minecraft
The message is believed to refer to the lack of a licensing agreement negotiated between Mojang and the film-makers to use blocks, objects and other elements similar to those used in the game. The film was planned to be released on YouTube later in 2014.
A teaser video on the Kickstarter project page showed concept footage mixing live action with landscapes, creatures and weapons in the game.
Brandon Laatsch, the director of the short film, stated that he's been working on the idea of making a Minecraft film for more than 12 years.
As he and the others involved in the project were avid gamers, he believed that the finished film would be better than other films that are based on well-known games he stated.
In the teaser video, he said that Minecraft was the ideal video game to adapt to a movie.
"The reason is that it doesn't have a protagonist and doesn't have a story which I believe is an advantage because we can make up our own unique story." minecraft
Mr Laatsch has not yet made a statement on the reason why the project was cancelled or whether it is likely to be revived after negotiating with Mojang regarding the licensing of its intellectual property.
