The web became abuzz today as word began spreading from Twitter to Facebook and gaming forums across the Web.

Still raking in box office success ($188 mil. to date) from The Lego Movie, Warner Bros. may be looking to go for a two-fer and possibly use Lego’s formula to create another block-building world. Only this time, the world is digital.

The tremendously popular Minecraft (over 100 million users to date) having such an open world and universal appeal means that there are few if any limits on what the film could be about.

This is all very recent with only Persson’s tweet so far to confirm Deadline’s story. But, likely more and more details will be forthcoming as the deal is finalized and the concept moves into preproduction.
