That’s right! Mac from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is in talks with Warner Bros to direct the upcoming Mincraft movie.
A VERY sparse announcement was posted earlier today on Mojangs official website.
Hello there!
Some of you may have seen this guy hanging around MINECON in London a couple weeks ago. He’s Rob McElhenney, and he’s going to be directing the upcoming Minecraft movie.
I would say that this is a very ODD first choice for director, but a Mincraft movie is an odd product to consider in the first place.
Rob McElhenney hasn’t really directed much outside of Always Sunny, he did just land a writer/director gig over at Legendary Pictures for his upcoming film Figment. That film is a family action-adventure script about an over imaginative boy and his family who have to deal with their greatest fears coming to life. It sounds like Rob has aspirations of being a director of all ages properties, so someone at Legendary MUST have given out his name to the folks at Warner.
What do you you think about Mac directing a kids movie?
