Summary
A creative fan has edited the recent trailer forA Minecraft Movieinto one for a fictitious film adaptation ofRoblox,giving fans a glimpse of what a movie based on the massively multiplayer online platform could look like. The trailer garnered a huge response from fans online, asRobloxandMinecraftplayers came together in appreciation as the edit made waves on social media.
WhenA Minecraft Moviewas officially revealed online recently with a short teaser trailer, it set the internet alight as many lambasted its visual style, which is a hybrid of CGI environments, animated characters, and live-action actors.The trailer contained a lot of references toMinecraftand briefly introduced the main conflict while leading up to its biggest reveal, Jack Black’s portrayal of the game’s main character, Steve.
Reddit user BacongamingExe took to the officialRobloxsubreddit to share their vision of what theMinecraftmovie trailer would look like if it were based onRobloxwith an edited version of the original teaser. Their version shows the same clips ofthe main cast arriving in the world ofMinecraft,but instead of that game’s world, they find themselves inside one of manyRobloxgames.
“A Roblox Movie” Fan Trailer Ignites the Internet
Fans in the comments largely praised the video, with some saying they preferred it over the actualMinecrafttrailer, while others pointed out some other suggestions forRobloxreferences to insert. Some players suggested Steve introduce himself as “Bacon Hair” rather than “Noob,” as he does in the edit, in reference to an inside joke amongRobloxfans about the appearance of the default hairstyle many new players use.
In any case, the edited trailer shows significant attention to detail, as the creator even replaced the opening text with font and language related toRobloxas the teaser opens with the game’s logo. The teaser also ends with a joke “release date” indicating that the film will be in theaters “never” andimploring viewers to just playRobloxto experience the story.
Of course, given the nature ofRobloxas an open online platformfor users to make their own custom games, there is little in the way of an actual storyline or characters for a potential film version to try and adapt. However, the fan trailer shows off several worlds from variousRobloxgames, demonstrating the potential for an original storyline that utilizes elements from a variety of popular experiences available on the platform.
