Jared Hess loses sleep due to all the public reaction videos he saw for his latest film, A minecraft film – But in the right direction. The director’s wife continues to have to tell him to put the phone away, otherwise he would never rest.
“It was so bananas,” said Hess Weekly entertainment Two days later MinecraftImpressive Box Office HURPOR during his opening weekend. “It was too fun. People send me these really hilarious speeches that many teenagers say just before the film. It’s so hysterical, guy. I’m standing too late.”
What is this “jockey chicken” trend, ask yourself? A scene from the film implies the garrison of “The Garbage Man” by Jason Momoa in a boxing ring for Tango with what he thinks is just a Minecraft-Ton the chicken. A hatch then opens from above, including a little Frankenstein zombie with the appearance of monster, which then sets up the chicken in the battle.
It is a reference to the Jockey chicken in internationally popular video games Minecrafton which the film is based. A small percentage of block zombies in this sandbox style title will lead a chicken, becoming chicken jockeys. At the moment of the film, Steve de Jack Black Crie: “Chicken Jockey!” At the time many audiences filled with adolescents around the world to shout the sentence at the top of their lungs and to enter into launching applause of Pop-Corn.
But this is not the only answer. People of various projections marry and marry towards other notable lines of the film, many of which were already previewed in the trailers, including “Water Bucket, Release!” And “It’s a craft table!” The reaction videos, shot by fans in theaters, dominated social media platforms. A particular viral video represents a projection which has become so rowdy that it attracts the attention of the police, who came to escort the main authors of the theater.
“It’s weird when you have too fun and the cops are called,” Hess told EW. “It’s funny because I think it’s just applauding and throwing popcorn, which is so funny for me that the cops are called for popcorn. Yes, it’s hilarious. I have seen so many funny videos. It’s great, especially when people climb on the shoulders of their friends and I would be stressed for these moments. People who make memories with their friends and their families. ”
A minecraft film Sees Black’s Steve and Garrett de Momoa moving through a mysterious portal to the cube kingdom of the Overworld with Henry de Sebastian Hansen, Natalie d’Emma Myers and Dawn by Danielle Brooks. Together, they must defend this world against evil creatures such as pigs and zombies.
Hess had an early idea that they had something on his hands with the moment of chicken jockey. About two weeks before the film’s opening, his son, Elliot, was at the university house for the spring holidays. The filmmaker was on the wind that his son’s friends around the dormitory were already walking by saying: “Chicken jockey!” each other.
“My wife and daughters were like,” Elliot! Be quiet! We are so sick “, because he was quoting the chicken jockey ” all the time … but did not know that it would then evolve in what was going on in theaters,” recalls Hess. “It’s just a boon.”
With the kind authorization of Warner Bros.
Some theaters have started to display warnings on the potential public reactions to Minecraft Projections. In some cases, the locations prohibit unaccompanied minors and large groups of adolescent boys to try to slow down noisy waterfalls. The New Jersey’s Township Theater is one of these locations, citing “large groups of unopensed boys engaged in completely unacceptable behavior, including vandalism”.
But for better or for worse, this kind of answer has undoubtedly helped to propel MinecraftThe box office numbers of $ 157 million at the national level and $ 301 million worldwide during the opening weekend.
Hess accepts that it all looks like a Rock horror image show Moment, although he certainly did not attend one of these projections where fans disguise themselves as characters and recite the lines. “I am so happy that people find the joy of going back to cinemas and seeing things like a community, like a group of people,” he said. “It is as if we have become so isolated on our devices, and it’s just fun to live things as a group of human beings. I think people are hungry for this experience. It is therefore fun that they found it in this clumsy film that we made.”

The internal answer has also shone, but Hess does not yet know if Warner Bros. Will Greenlight has a suite. People talk about it, he said. There are at least two end labels: a scene of average credits involving Marlene, the director general of Jennifer Coolidge and her lover of Nitwit villagers, and an official post-key scene which presents Alex, who, like Steve, is one of the default characters that skins players can use in that the players of skins in that Minecraft game.
The Mi-Credits scene presents Matt Berry (from What we do in the shade Fame) like the voice of the villager of Nitwit who learns the language of Marlene to be closer to her. Hess confirms a recent washer report which revealed that Berry was an early pretender for the role of Steve before the casting of Black.

“It didn’t work because of so many things,” said Hess. “This happens in films all the time, programming. He was on his successful show, What we do in the shadeAnd the (Hollywood strikes) and everything. The films evolve in so many crazy and unexpected ways. But it was like, guy, we wanted him to be part of it whatever happens. So bringing it like the nitwit was hilarious. “”
The post-key scene also brings Saturday Night Live Alum Kate McKinnon, who worked with Hess in 2015 BrainLike Alex’s voice. Although the character appears outside the camera, does he intend to put McKinnon more in the foreground in a suite? “Heaven is the limit,” said Hess. “We are just lounging in it right now. I don’t even think of a sequel, even if I know there are a lot of discussions on this subject. So, yes, we will just have to understand what is the next chapter.”
A minecraft film is in theaters now.
