The first trailer for the Jason Momoa-starring Minecraft movie is here, and my immediate reaction is bafflement—absolute wonderment, really—that 2025 could potentially give us an even bigger videogame movie catastrophe than 2024's Borderlands film—and that both of them feature Jack Black.
Black plays Steve in the film, the Minecraft main guy in the teal shirt who was previously rumored to be portrayed by Pedro Pascal. How a casting department gets from Pedro Pascal to Jack Black is completely beyond me, but I am not a highly-paid Warner Bros executive so I will comment no further except to say it makes me think about Schwarzenegger and Stallone "competing" for the lead role in Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. I bet Pedro's having a good laugh this morning.
