That was much of the appeal for me when adapting it. I think that one of the things that people respond is the seriousness with which the characters take this ridiculous world. That absurd seriousness about such a ridiculous world is part of the vitality of comedy. I think that’s what people celebrate. “
He Raise a sequel to ‘A Minecraft movie’ It is increasingly likely to judge by their figures, something that HESS is fully arranged: “It would be hilarious. We had a lot of fun making this film, and The world of the game is so extensive that there were many things that we did not explore. I would have a great time doing the sequel, and it seems that you already talk about it, so I am super excited. It will be hilarious to return to that world. “

This is Steve and Alex and, Without a doubt, that’s what we will bring to the table“
