In 2015, It?s Always Sunny in Philadelphia?s Rob McElhenney was scheduled to direct an animated Minecraft movie starring Steve Carell. After being given a $150 million budget, courtesy of Warner Bros., McElhenney?s version of the film fizzled out and he left the project. As it turns out, the biggest reason for the change had to do with the departure of the film studio?s chief Greg Silverman in 2016. His replacement Toby Emmerich did not have the same vision for the Minecraft film, and as McElhenney explains, it ?slowly died on the vine.?
Recently McElhenney appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, in which he explained the details of his version of the film and why it never came to be. McElhenney gave praise to the Minecraft universe for allowing its players the freedom to be in control?to create anything they wanted. He said:
