Tbh, that’s probably the only casting that would give me any interest in watching a movie about Minecraft.

“Hey you know this game where it’s basically just legos and survival and there’s no story whatsoever? What if we made a live-action movie with people who aren’t legos and wrote a story to it? The fans will obviously love it because it has the same name!”

Tbf the LEGO movie was pretty good. I’m willing to give a minecraft movie a chance, won’t be happy if it’s shit though.

The lego movie was good because it wasn’t about the legos though. It used legos as a medium for telling a really heartfelt story about a father and son.

If they do that with Minecraft, fantastic. I’m just not expecting it in the slightest.

That sounds ridiculous. Next they’ll make a Lego movie!

It could be cool if they make it like the old D&D cartoon, where a player gets sucked into the game.

Seems like an odd cast, but I’m down to watch Jack Black in basically anything.

Jack Black is actually a good voice actor at least. Better than Chris Pratt again

I’m completely over giving VA jobs to traditional actors.

I think Jack Black can be considered a voice actor and a traditional actor, he has done a lot of good work for both

There are very few voice actors who didn’t come up through “traditional” acting.

Especially notable is Bojack which is considered the GOAT and to my knowledge doesn’t feature anyone who hasn’t done theatre, tv or film.

Mel Blanc did TV before he did cartoons

Dan Castellaneta did Second City and character comedy for years before the Simpsons

Tom Kenny was an actor for 10 years before SpongeBob

And so on

the only one I can think of that would meet this description is Seth MacFarlane.
