Unfinished version Jason Momoa-starrer A Minecraft Movie leaked

Hold onto your pickaxes, folks—because A Minecraft Movie just got hit with a plot twist no one saw coming. An unfinished version of the film has mysteriously mined its way online, only hours after its big-screen debut on April 4. And no, this is not a pixelated prank.

According to reports, a working print of the film—aka the not-ready-for-primetime, pre-CGI version—leaked across social media and file-sharing sites. Screenshots and clips started cropping up like Creepers in the dark, exposing scenes where the visual effects are either missing entirely or only half-baked. Think floating green screens, awkward movement, and raw animation footage that’s giving major "beta test" energy.

While movie leaks are not exactly unheard of, this one stands out because it is not even a polished cut. Working prints are usually kept under lock, key, and several passwords by studios. So the fact that this rough version managed to slip out? Let’s just say Mojang and the studios behind this project are probably in full panic mode.

Still, chaos aside, the leak has not dimmed the movie’s opening weekend glow. In fact, it is crushing it. Thursday preview screenings brought in over $10.55 million—making it the biggest Thursday preview ever for a video game adaptation. With predictions pointing to a $65–$90 million weekend haul, fans are clearly still showing up with popcorn in hand.

About A Minecraft Movie

The Minecraft Movie stars Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the latter of whom plays Steve, an expert crafter who teams up with four misfit humans pulled into the Minecraft universe. The plot? Portal madness, cube world shenanigans, and a healthy dose of heart.

Black has been hyping the movie up as more than just another gaming cash-grab. He said the film mixes adventure, love, and creativity in a way the world desperately needs right now—especially when everything feels like it is on fire. There is conflict, sure, but at its core, the movie is about friendship and working together, something even creepers cannot destroy.

Despite mixed critic reviews (it is sitting at 48% on Rotten Tomatoes), Jack Black’s performance is being called the film’s best block—err, rock.

Whether you are team stream (illegally—tsk!) or team theatre, A Minecraft Movie is definitely building a legacy… one pixelated brick at a time.
