Minecraft Movie Details

The 'Minecraft' film, under the direction of Jared Hess, boasts a remarkable lineup including Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, Jennifer Coolidge, and Jack Black (who is rumored to play 'Steve'). In a recent interview with The Salt Lake Tribune, Hess noted he's trying to avoid the "Ugly Sonic" situation, a notable pre-production release where Paramount tested audience feedback of a first-time animated design.

The production, currently underway in New Zealand, has yet to finalize screenplay credits. The plot remains a tightly held secret, promising an intriguing narrative set in the game's imaginative world.

McKinnon and Clement's Stellar Careers

Kate McKinnon, a two-time Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, has an impressive array of feature credits like Bombshell, The Spy Who Dumped Me, and Ghostbusters. McKinnon also played 'Ugly Barbie' in Barbie, one of the films that was up against the Super Mario Bros. Movie at the recent Golden Globes award show.

Jemaine Clement, a native of New Zealand, is celebrated for his roles in Avatar: The Way of Water and will feature in Sony's Harold & The Purple Crayon. His creative prowess extends to producing and writing for acclaimed series like What We Do in the Shadows and the upcoming AppleTV+ series Time Bandits.
