Dune producers Mary Parent and Roy Lee will produce Minecraft with Jill Messick, who will receive posthumous credit for her involvement in the development of the film before her death in 2018. Executive producers include Jon Berg, Cale Boyter and Jon Spaihts. The game hails from Sweden’s Mojang Studios, with Mojang’s Lydia Winters and Vu Bui producing the film on behalf of the company. Minecraft, which debuted in 2011, is a video game that allows players to use blocks to create structures and worlds. The game was hugely successful, reaching 100 million users a few years after launch and helping Microsoft acquire Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014.
