Big movie industry seems to be one of the most rigid forms of media. Every time I notice the same cinematic/presentational tricks used again and again to invoke the same feelings/emotions in viewer. This is visible in movies themselves but in teasers/trailers it’s done in some kind of heavyweight refined form. Minecraft deserves better than those overused formulas.

Surely you’ve never seen some variation of “I am <the guy on the poster>!!” “Lol this guy sucks” before!

That’s because these people learn the same cookie-cutter techniques at film school and start writing scripts in large groups right after getting their arts degree. Identity has been beaten out of them.

Is Jack Black just required to be in every videogame movie from now on? Mario, Borderlands, and now this? Is he going to be Shadow in the new Sonic movie?

I think Keanu Reeves is playing Shadow.

Edit: yup - https://www.ign.com/articles/sonic-the-hedgehog-3-voice-casting

Obviously main idea for this movie was just to have some minecraft stylistic and to be a cash grab. Creating interesting story was last on the priorities list.

The “priorities list” has only two entries: a) make money with it and b) make it in a way that we can make a sequel to make more money.
