Seth Rogen co-created the show and stars as Matt Remick, the new head of the fictional film studio Continental. Per Deadline, Rogen’s character desperately wants to keep the future of movies alive.  Says Rogen’s Matt: “Being the head of Continental is the only job I’ve ever wanted. “I’m honored, obviously, to be one of the people that gets to choose, you know, which movies get made and which ones don’t.  I got into all this, because, you know I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them.”

In addition to Rogen, Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz and Chase Sui Wonders also star, with Bryan Cranston guest starring.

Warner Bros. released the final trailer for A Minecraft Movie, based on the 2011 video game Minecraft.

The Jared Hess-directed film has an all-star cast, featuring Jack Black as Steve, Jason Momoa as Garett, and Emma Myers as Natalie, with Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Coolidge and Sebastian Hansen also starring as people “who learn to create anything they desire out of blocks in the Overworld. But, they discover the Nether, where evil creatures do the same.”

After backlash from the first teaser trailer which featured more live-action content, the new trailer for A Minecraft Movie features more CGI characters, and teases the potential challenges the characters will face during their stay in the Overworld – addressing the movie’s close ties to the Minecraft video game by positioning the main gang as players within the game’s environment.
