Rules:
Past low effort video game movies? Borderlands just released. The budget got bigger, but I don't think there's an honest effort here.
Even more controversial, I assume, the Mario and Sonic movies are forgettable at best. I couldn't think of a way to make them more generic without dropping the theming entirely.
On the topic of Mario, how did Jack Black end up in the Minecraft movie? I haven't seen anyone else in there before, I think.
Jason Momoa?
Jennifer Coolidge, Kate McKinnon, Jemaine Clement ...
Matt Berry…
He did read the audiobook of Minecraft: The Mountain. So he's got some past experience in Minecraft?
Plus he's a respected games journalist over in his channel Jablinski Gaming.
No but really I think he's a safe choice for family movies. The producers know what they're getting.
Jumanji 2-3, Super Mario, Borderlands: Jack Black is a sucker for silly video game roles.
We will never be past low effort tie-ins as long as line must go up
We're entering an age where these CEOs calling the shots are extra useless and they just ask AI what to do. This is the kinda horseshot you're going to start seeing.
This film has been in development since 2014.
As of this year, it's fair to assume any movie to be released will be impacted in some way by AI.

Hollywood stopped paying good writers, capitalism leads to "innovation" 😅
I found it amusing. I didn't have any expectations, and still don't, it was just funny in an absurd way.
Do you Minecraft tho?
Yes
"I thought we were past low effort video game movies" borderlands literally just happened
Don’t forget Jack Black is in it, the whiney bitch who throws his long time friend in front of the bus
