00:00We first started talking about making a movie over a decade ago.
00:05We really wanted to honor the world.
00:08It's super fun to see everything, all the details,
00:12and I can't wait to see it all come alive on the screen.
00:15It is an open world.
00:17As a kid playing Minecraft,
00:19it always felt so big.
00:20This game has been loved by
00:22millions all over the world for years now.
00:24Minecraft, it's coming to life.
00:28All right, let's do it.
00:31Minecraft is full of opportunities for adventures.
00:35Each person's journey is different.
00:37When we were developing this into a film,
00:39we just thought, let's bring our fun story.
00:41It's very intentional that this movie is called
00:44a Minecraft movie as opposed to the Minecraft movie.
00:50A Minecraft movie takes place in
00:54the real world and the Minecraft universe.
00:57You see Steve wishing he was able to just do whatever he wants
01:01and let his imagination run wild.
01:04I play Garrett, the garbage man, Garrison.
01:08He has this history of being this great video gamer from the 80s,
01:12and he's been holding on to that,
01:13and he hasn't moved past that life when he was on top.
01:18He's a huge fan of pink. He looks good.
01:21Right now, he's definitely this burnout who got fame from a very young age,
01:24and I don't think he's ever had a hug.
01:26So what about you? Are you on the lam?
01:28The hand is like basically the mother,
01:30the person who takes the vanilla game and tweaks it and adjusts it.
01:33He literally has to create to survive.
01:38Great. Now it's dark.
01:41All players have this experience of the first night.
01:44Very quickly, the sun sets and things change dramatically.
01:48They really did not hold back.
01:50We have zombies.
01:52Oh, and the skeletons.
01:54And we shouldn't forget the most famous Minecraft mob, the creeper.
02:00It's been really exciting taking things that are part of the community's lives
02:04and trying to adapt it.
02:06You're going to love how beautiful this world has become
02:09using all of the elements of the video game.
02:12Everything's cubic.
02:13So square trees, square fruit, square trunks, square grass, square flowers.
02:18The players had a big influence on the movie.
02:21We asked Mumbo Jumbo to help us.
02:23He worked on the building quite a bit.
02:24This was something that I actually worked on with Jared.
02:26Cactuses being launched as the Minecraft player.
02:31We know how precious this is to a global gaming community.
02:35We're so excited to be able to share this.
02:37Minecraft is one of the biggest, beautiful worlds you can make.
02:40Yeah.
02:43This movie is a joyful celebration of everything about Minecraft and creativity.
02:50That's one of the great things about Minecraft.
02:53If you want to survive, you've got to be creative.
02:57Now run with me!
