“It’s So Lifelike”: Minecraft Movie’s Game Recreation & “Combat” Teased By Star

Minecraft star Danielle Brooks teases the movie’s recreation of the games. Brooks is most recently known for her work in The Color Purple, for which she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting actress. She is set to star in the Minecraft movie alongside Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Jack Black, Jemaine Clement, Jennifer Coolidge, and Kate McKinnon.

Speaking with Variety, Brooks teases elements of the Minecraft movie. Check out her full quote below:

I ain’t going anywhere. [Laughs] Warner Brothers – I’m here to stay! Legendary – I’m here to stay! I’m signed on until the end of time.

I don’t know how to play the game but I know the world and the movie is pretty magical. It’s so lifelike. I don’t know how much I can share, but I do know fans will not be disappointed with the world they’ve created. We obviously do some green screen, but we got all the things there. Basically, all your senses are being used. You have the world for your sight but also for an actor, the smells of certain things. It will make more sense months from now when I can actually explain it.

I’m hopefully going to be singing in it. You can’t do a movie with Danielle Brooks and Jack Black and not have us do something. I’m having a good time.

More to come…
