I’m sure there are a lot of things fans of Minecraft want to see in the game’s movie. For me, Jack Black’s performance as Steve is at the top of my list. As you probably know, the actor is always operating at an 11; that is no different for this entry on the movie schedule, and I'm hyped about it. Now, he’s opened up about giving this performance all his energy, and the director told us why that was great…until it was time to edit.
During CinemaBlend’s interviews with the Minecraft cast, our own Jeff McCobb spoke to Jack Black and Jason Momoa about working “at 100 in this movie.” He asked what got those guys to that level and if it involved director Jared Hess.

00:00You guys, I hope you don't mind me saying, are at 100 in this movie.
00:04Is that the Jared Hess of it all?
00:06Is that what makes you go to that level?
00:09What brought you there?
00:10You know, it's funny you say that, because it's true.
00:12Jared never once told me, can you bring it down?
00:15It's a little too much.
00:16He didn't mind when I cranked it to 11.
00:18And that's kind of weirdly my comfort zone.
00:20He would always go, like, put a little stank on it.
00:23Put some mustard on it.
00:24Really?
00:25Even more stank?
00:26Even more mustard?
00:28All right.
00:30He had you crank it up, too?
00:31Oh, yeah.
00:32Yeah.
00:33There's a huge safety net for us to go play.
00:35I mean, there's all kinds of weird stuff that came out of it, where you just like, I don't
00:40scream like that.
00:41And sure enough, I'm screaming like that.
00:44There's a scene where you just like hop down off a step, and just the way you hopped, I
00:47was like, he gave that everything he had in his body, you know?
00:51Everything.
00:52That was the other one kidding me.
00:53He's like, yeah.
00:54He's just like doing a skateboarding move.
00:56He's like doing a trick.
00:57He's like, yeah.
00:58Kickflip.
00:59You know, he did everything at about an 11, and so we had to bring him down to like
01:03a nine in the edit.
01:06He was amazing.
01:08I mean, there's nobody better, I think, to play Steve than Jack Black.
01:12I mean, he loves the game.
01:14In between scenes, he'd be in his trailer playing Minecraft nonstop, being like, just
01:19found some more Lapis Lazuli.
01:21Um, so he was pretty hardcore and preparing for the role.
01:26He said he clocked, he did, and we actually measure it, but he clocked more hours in front
01:30of his Xbox than in front of the camera, like shooting.
01:33I love that.
01:34Love that journey for him.
01:35milieu waiting for him.
01:41I love that.
01:42I love that dream.
01:43It's fun for me.
01:43Maybe you can click itada ice would be, but he looks like science
01:47and I love that dream tomorrow.
01:49Every day.
