Here is a wonderful mother's story like Warner Bros./legendary's Minecraft film It passes through 900 million dollars: The entire movie started with the mother's love for her son, and he noticed his passion for the world's creation game.
Around 2011, Gil Missik, former CEO Lorenz and Lauren Michael, was between the production of vehicles (was EP on Mama baby, girls mean, hot cock And win the Academy Award UniqueLike many parents who suffer from millennial children, she got acquainted with the obsession of her 11 -year -old son Jackson as the construction of pixy bricks.

After seeing Jackson's rapprochement of the game, messages were immediately transferred to Cold-Call Stockholm, Mojang Studios based in Sweden to inquire about the rights of the movie. Then she gathered the frequent miles of the traveler to fly and present the architect and the founder of the company Marcus Pearson.
At that time, Mojang – being an independent startup intervened in one of the world's most popular video games (Minecraft was examined last time, selling 300 million copies with nearly 140 million active players per month) – exhausted by Hollywood. It was before success Super Mario Bros. and Sonik Al -QunfudHollywood and video games did not advance along as much as it happened. In fact, sometimes a brand movie can harm.
Mesic's meeting with Mojang walked very well, and returned to Hollywood. She arrived in Gregory Macanite, then with CAA, to update her success. Mcknight connected a mess with the agents Jay Baker (now in Range Media Partners) and Micah Green (the CEO now, and the co -chair of filmmakers and producer 30 West). There was an instant moment, Yorica, as they also had children who played Minecraft, and they were crazy with the game -like 3D game. The duo, along with Mesic, boarded a plane and returned to Stockholm where he will sign Ca Motjang as a client.
Another call from Messik to Mojang: It was an independent product, just like them. Baker and Green Mojang put in comfort, informing them that they will have ownership in the movie, with the brand's lifting.
“The idea of a movie was early in the operation at the time, but when she told the generation of our son Jackson that she was descending the rights of the film to Minecraft, he was excited about what his mother might do for the movie,” says her ex -husband Kevin Mesic.

However, the discovery of Minecraft did not end Larner Bruce there; Mojang finished selling to Microsoft in September 2014 for $ 2.5 billion, hence the match and the renovation of the film's rights. What helped Warner Bruce was that he had already foot in the door as the company was also trying to follow the rights of the Microsoft Video Game Halo game.
