With Levy’s family-focused projects, his direction would have been a good fit for the game’s kid-friendly appeal, and might have followed in the footsteps of The Lego Movie.
His exit came after he pitched his vision, a Goonies-inspired adventure, to the Minecraft game-makers, and it didn’t match their ideas.
In 2014, director of the Night of the Museum movies, Shawn Levy, exited the project due to creative differences.
This certainly isn’t the first setback the Warner Bros. film has faced.
