The upcoming Superman flick has a lot of people a buzz, but none are more eager about the movie than comic book nerds, which is why the Machinima channel on YouTube re-created the trailer for the Man of Steel into a Minecraft movie.
The block game-inspired trailer recreates the scenes from the trailer in awesome Minecraft fashion. The Man of Steel is featured in wonderful LEGO-like fashion. The trailer that the Machinima created is similar to many LEGO-made movies, except that the color schemes of the characters aren't predominantly yellow.
The trailer is a homage to both fans of the Superman franchise and Minecraft gamers. The only thing that's missing from the trailer to make it feel like a Minecraft game are those strangely aggressive pigs in the game.
