The Friday Funny: Man of Steel à la Minecraft

What do you get when you combine the immense popularity of Minecraft with the upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel (which arrives in theaters on June 14th)? You get Supes rendered in Minecraft-style in the following movie trailer, which is a near scene-by-scene copy of one of the official trailers of the upcoming Superman movie.

Minecraft of Steel

Truth, justice, and the Minecraft way.

Digital effects studio Steelehouse Digital created the clip, and the creators haven’t said (yet) what software and animation tools that they used to create the short. Give it a look – it might be an enjoyable diversion from backing up VMs or setting up SharePoint servers on a Friday afternoon. As for the Man of Steel movie itself, early reviews and preview features have been promising.
