Warner Bros on Wednesday released the teaser and first look images for the upcoming film A Minecraft Movie. The film, which is made in collaboration with Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures, stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black and is directed by Jared Hess. It is the first-ever live-action adaptation of Minecraft, which is considered the best-selling video game of all time.

Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world while embarking on a quest with an expert crafter, Steve (Black).
