00:00Thank you so much for bringing the colour into our lives.
00:03Sum up how you're feeling being at the world premiere.
00:05This is exciting. Dude, this is it. We finally unveiled the masterpiece.
00:11I'm excited. I've been waiting for people to see this for a long time.
00:15But you know what's funny is that we just like finished it,
00:18put the finishing touches like two weeks ago, he told me, like a fortnight ago.
00:22They were putting the last colourings and special effects and so it's right on time actually.
00:29And it's brilliant. You've got some mega fans here.
00:31What are you excited about them seeing on the big screen?
00:34It's just a hilarious journey. I saw it and I was smiling and laughing the whole way through.
00:42And I would just like to sit in the back in the dark with no one watching me
00:47just to gauge the audience and see if they laugh as hard as I do.
00:51Because I love to watch me, so I don't know. We'll see if everyone else does as much as I do.
01:00Yes, we do. I'll tell you that much for nothing.
01:03Steve is an absolute icon. What did you love about that guy?
01:07Well, he's a major character in the video game universe, but he's kind of a blank canvas.
01:13He doesn't have a voice or any kind of personality to speak of.
01:19It's all what you put your imagination into it.
01:22So I had fun just putting myself into it and going crazy and going all the way to 11
01:28and letting Jared tone it down as he saw fit in the edit.
01:32We never want to tone down Jack Black. Come on!
01:35What about the most fun you had? The only highlights for me from set.
01:39I loved kicking ass on all the zombies and being kind of the master of the world
01:47and knowing all of the tricks and the trade of the creativity of this Minecraft universe
01:55was a really fun character to play.
01:57It felt like it was absolutely you, this role. You got to sing, you got to do some action moves.
02:01Totally.
02:02It was just brilliant. Was it a bit of a dream come true for you?
02:05It was a dream come true to work with Jared again. He brings out the best in me.
02:10When we worked on Nacho Libre, I had a similar experience where he had me writing songs,
02:14singing songs, doing funny moves and doing lines that were kind of memorable that people would quote later.
02:23I still see kids wearing the Nacho Libre costume all these years later at Halloween.
02:28I'm like, dang, it's cool when something has lasting power like that.
02:32Well, hopefully we'll have some Steve's this Halloween.
02:35And can you sum this film up for me in three words, if you can?
02:41Creativity, celebration, survival.
02:45I love it. And what are you most excited about them seeing, by the way? Any little Easter eggs?
02:50I'm just going to say elytra flight suits or elytra wing suits, actually.
02:56Zach, thank you very much.
