Tbh, that’s probably the only casting that would give me any interest in watching a movie about Minecraft.
“Hey you know this game where it’s basically just legos and survival and there’s no story whatsoever? What if we made a live-action movie with people who aren’t legos and wrote a story to it? The fans will obviously love it because it has the same name!”
Tbf the LEGO movie was pretty good. I’m willing to give a minecraft movie a chance, won’t be happy if it’s shit though.
The lego movie was good because it wasn’t about the legos though. It used legos as a medium for telling a really heartfelt story about a father and son.
If they do that with Minecraft, fantastic. I’m just not expecting it in the slightest.
It also used nothing but lego pieces and had overall amazing animation, complete with the limited movement of lego figures accounted for.
Seems like an odd cast, but I’m down to watch Jack Black in basically anything.
