A Minecraft Movie gets its first trailer

It was announced only at the start of the year that Jack Black was joining the cast of the then untitled Minecraft movie, but it seems they were hitting the ground running as the first trailer for A Minecraft Movie has been released, check it out.

The film stars Jack Black as Steve, along with Jason Momoa as Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, Sebastian Eugene Hansen as Henry, Emma Myers as Natalie and Danielle Brooks as Dawn.

Here is the official synopsis of the movie:

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Right now the movie is giving off very strong early Sonic move vibes, but that could change with a proper trailer.

The movie itself will release here on April 2nd.
