Trist we have breaking news apparently Jack Black of Super Mario Brothers movie Fame of course and some other little projects has been cast in the live action Minecraft movie as none other than Steve himself this comes to us by way of deadline who’s reporting just as I said Jack Black is now in the liveaction movie uh apparently accompanying uh Jason mimoa who I believe is still the lead of the picture so I’m not quite sure who Jason’s playing here but I had to talk about this trist because Jack Black this is something I didn’t expect I didn’t Expect to see Jack Black in the Minecraft movie I mean everything about this is baffling to me liveaction Jack Black and the movie is apparently still on track for next year um May I think reportedly April of next year I’ll bet that doesn’t happen but I wanted to talk About this Tris both as a you know a Jack Black fan and you know also Mario a Mario movie fan and what exactly this means for the Minecraft movie what we think of this so Tres what is your gut reaction to hearing this my gut reaction Is I’m surprised there’s any news at all about this mcraft movie this thing has been in like development hell for years now I think it was originally supposed to release back in like 2019 and then like 2022 and then there was like nothing for quite some time so suddenly getting this News it’s this weird like drip feed of casting tells me they have no idea what they’re doing currently yeah I I you know I I I wonder if it marks a change in direction or if not at least it gives us some clue as to the direction of the film because Casting Jack Black I think as you know if he is in fact Steve going by this you know supposed report from deadline which I believe they are generally pretty accurate uh having him as a main a major character even more so than Bowser in the Mario movie that tells me this is Probably going to be a comedy probably a comedy yeah almost definitely right and I’m wondering though with him still seemingly being a second you know not the lead with Jason being the lead I wonder for one who is Jason playing the other another avatar from Minecraft or Well it’s weird because Minecraft I mean Minecraft’s one of those games where you can upload any kind of design for your avatar however you want but the two like default ones for the most part are Steve for the male player and Alex for the female player and beyond that it’s kind Of a bunch of random custom skins I think some of them have different names but this makes me wonder just how much this is going to be like actual Minecraft or if you’re going to have like jaat black is one of the main characters as Steve someone else playing Alex and you have Jason mimo’s character uh as some someone that’s not even in Minecraft that’s just kind of being led through an adventure with them right because we we know almost nothing about actually we know nothing about the story uh as far as I can tell from these Reports nothing is known except for it being live action is starring those two actors and I’m just trying to picture like every form this could take with it being live action I wonder is that truly like the entire scope of the film like is it all live action will it all look Realistic or does it start off live action before turning into something a little bit you know more stylized like Minecraft itself like does Jack pla get pulled into a video game aw the um the uh not jungle book jamanji about you pull into the video game another movie Of Star Jack Black where he was hilarious by the way and I wonder if that could be the angle here or is it that uh that they that the Minecraft world looks nothing like the Minecraft we know and actually does look like a or rather I I let me retract I think it’s Going to I I think Minecraft is going to have to look sowhat stylized to the game but will Jack Black look like he does in real life then or will he have a stylized appearance there too like I I I can only picture now as Jack Black being A human at some point and being pulled into this weird world where he then has like a blockier appearance possibly but again it could be like jamanji where he still looks like himself just maybe in a blocky world yeah I I feel I’m picturing given how they keep talking about this Being a liveaction Minecraft movie I picture this being much closer to like jji where it’s much more of uh here’s here here’s the world they filmed it all like on location the green screen like some CG but it’s primarily focus on it being liveaction which I feel like You’re going to lose a lot of what makes Minecraft Minecraft with that but yeah that really does beg the question I do think it it is possible um you’re right that it’s involves like falling into another world kind of thing and I do think Jack pl’s going to have that kind Of Fate cuz I mean especially after doing it in Jumanji what twice now I think that’s fitting enough in for him and that does seem to be a fairly common theme in these video game adaptations the uh isaya is it or Fish Out of Water stories basically yeah thanks isak where yeah a Character you know ends up in a world they’re not familiar with we saw this in the Mario movie of course uh Sonic to a degree I’m sure others as well and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the angle here too so I wonder if maybe Jack Black is the I wonder so as Steve will he be like I I I wonder if he’s will be you the straight man I guess the the person from The Real World maybe meeting Jason’s character who could be the actual one who already existed in Minecraft um assuming again there’s even A separation between worlds here I mean the entire movie could just play take place in whatever World Minecraft is said in but it’s harder to picture getting people fully on board with that right like you kind of want that I think why isaki are so popular is because you You have that grounded entrance into this more radical weird world right I think I I think in terms of casting it be the other way around since it’s still listed as jasona being like the star it seems like whereas ja black is another probably major role in it but notably Not the star so it probably won’t be the story following ja black specifically but he’d probably be a at least a recurring character in it that actually makes a lot more sense especially you know as I was saying Jack Black being the straight man like that doesn’t Really make sense for Jack Black he’s he would probably be the you know the more Comic character um but again you know maybe both of them get sucked in this world who knows maybe again we don’t really even know what’s going on here um I do think it’s really interesting to Cast Jack Black though clearly I would assume partially off the success of the Mario movie the second biggest movie of last year and one of the top animated movies of all time attaching Jack Black to another video game adaptation that’s just smart that’s just like good business sense especially with Jack Black you know uh also you know having not this connection to the gaming industry in general being a part of his own games and being gamer himself uh but also like you know his experience in um other comedies as well like it just seems like it could be potentially a Really good fit again assuming this movie works on any level which I’m still can’t fully picture yeah same I I still don’t understand how this movie is going to happen but we’ll have to wait and see you on that case I do agree though I I Do think we’re uh jat black being the person that he is is a good fit for even more video game movies and I suspect this will be far from the last like I imagine other than potential Mario movie sequels and other than Minecraft I suspect over the next few years he’ll Start seeing more video game adaptations and suddenly ja blacks over here somewhere are you saying Jack Black could be to video game adaptations what Chris Pratt is to animated movies in general potentially at this point potentially you know what I would not mind that I I love Jack Black big fan of Him and as long as a charact as long as he fits the character I’m all for it like he disappeared into I mean he I I would say he disappeared into Bowser’s role because it was easy to forget that it wasn’t just an actor portraying this Character but it was also it very much had zck Black’s you know DNA in that character too which I love it was like a perfect marriage of the two but it wasn’t like I saw Bowser and I didn’t see Jack Black and that was great like he perfectly complimented the character And it elevated the performance I’m hoping they can pull off something like that with Minecraft a game that is you know very much not story driven and again kind of like Mario but even more even more extreme so it’ll be interesting to see what they come up Here like is it still going to be I mean I assume it’ll still be surviv based to a degree I mean again I I really think jamanji the the newer ones are is probably the best template to what you expect to be what you expect here yeah I Definitely think it’s that that’s a good way to look at it uh especially how those aren’t quite like the original J janji movie right so exactly they’re not which in a way is in its own way like a even though it’s not adapation of a video game it is about video game so Kind of kind of interesting parallel there uh despite that coming out several years before video game adaptations started becoming a really big thing so TR any final thoughts on Jack Black seemingly being in the Minecraft movie I it really is just surprising that we’re getting news about this and That Jack Black is now seemingly a very prominent role in it and it makes me wonder if we’re actually going to be hearing more about this movie in the coming months yeah I mean I I assume we we’re only finding about the casting probably nothing’s been filmed yet so it’ll Probably be a little while before we hear anything but whatever it is I’m curious to hear and you know this is actually this is actually probably the best thing about casting Jack Black it has me interested now like I’m not really I tried playing Minecraft for 3 Hours or so I couldn’t get into it haven’t really cared much about it outside of Steve being and smash but I hear you’re attaching Jack Black you’re attaching the Bowser of the Mario movie to this you got my interest I want I want to see what you know what’s going To shape up here and hopefully it’s good but it’s not a guarantee I’ll go watch it but I’m more inclined to give it a chance now than that probably was before just because I like you know the actor and I think you know there might be something here so so yeah no absolutely It’s attaching names does help honestly it really does like even even if people uh get annoyed at video game adaptations attaching a lot of Hollywood names the fact of the matter is it gets people’s attention to go check it out that’s exactly right that’s yeah that’s why the Mario movie castes so many well-known actors so Y and that probably won’t stop anytime soon anyways everyone there you go our breaking news uh discussion on Jack Black being in the Minecraft movie again again seemingly based on deadlines report what do you think of this are you Excited or you less excited what what do you expect of the Minecraft movie let us know in
