It would be truthful to say the live-action Minecraft film’s first trailer did not precisely arrive to rapturous applause. However now Warner Bros. and Legendary Footage are again for a second attempt, this time unleashing the deep Steve lore, tree punching, teleporting Ender Pearls, an unlucky incident involving a hen, and even an lovely sq. bee.
All of it kicks off with some backstory for Jack Black’s gloriously bejumpered Steve, detailing how he chiselled his option to a “wonderland the place something you may think about is feasible, so long as what you think about might be constructed out of blocks”. One brisk dance sequence later, and we’re reintroduced to our solid of more moderen newcomers to this unusual world: Garrett “The Rubbish Man” Garrison (performed by Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Eugene Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers) and Daybreak (Danielle Brooks). Sadly, there’s nonetheless no signal of Jennifer Coolidge, which is the place my main curiosity on this complete endeavour lies, however I can wait.
However even with out everyone’s favorite yacht evacuator, all of it seems to be like a innocent little bit of pleasant fluff, that includes Jack Black as his normal effervescent self, some energetic CGI (though the artwork model remains to be slightly jarring), and – on this second trailer at the least – sufficient Minecraft easter eggs to sate even essentially the most militant eight-year-old fan. It even finds time for a little bit of ye olde gentle peril – full with zombies and arrow-launching skeletons – when night time falls on the finish.

“4 misfits,” explains the official blurb if you happen to’re searching for extra context, “discover themselves fighting extraordinary issues when they’re instantly pulled via a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a weird, cubic wonderland that thrives on creativeness. To get again residence, they will must grasp this world (and shield it from evil issues like Piglins and Zombies, too) whereas embarking on a magical quest with an sudden, skilled crafter, Steve.”
“Collectively, their journey will problem all 5 to be daring and to reconnect with the qualities that make every of them uniquely inventive… the very expertise they should thrive again in the actual world.” And if we will one way or the other ignore that second paragraph till it pops proper out of existence, it would not really sound that dangerous.
The Minecraft film arrives in cinemas on 4th April subsequent yr, and there is additionally an animated Minecraft collection on the best way from Netflix, if the entire live-action factor would not attraction.
