There are a few cinematic milestones that I can point to in my life, and the morning that a school friend attempted to explain the plot of a weird little movie she had just watched called Napoleon Dynamite is one of them. Unable to pin down specific beats, she said it was about a couple of high school kids and had a hilarious dance sequence at the end. So I sought it out, and it remains a favorite childhood watch.Jared Hess, co-writer/director of that wacky little indie, has been an inspiration to filmmakers everywhere since then, putting together projects with unique sensibilities and a singular, rosy perspective of the world. Looking at the landscape of his career, to see him go from a shoestring-budgeted film like Dynamite to big studio IP like Warner Bros.' new picture A Minecraft Movie is kind of wild and certainly aspirational.The adaptation of the block-building, monster-filled game Minecraft has been in the works for a long time. Hess came on around 2020. The story follows siblings Natalie (Emma Myers) and Henry (Sebastian Hansen), who have just lost their mother. They meet real-estate agent Dawn (Danielle Brooks) and old-school gamer Garett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Jason Momoa). They're all magically transported into the Overworld (Minecraft's primary environment), where they meet Steve (Jack Black). Steve is the customizable player-character of Minecraft and here helps these fish-out-of-water survive. Adventures ensue. - YouTube Get ready for the greatest adventure ever built. ⛏️ Tickets are on sale NOW for #MinecraftMovie...
