Kate McKinnon & Jemaine Clement join the Minecraft movie

The Minecraft movie is still quite a ways off, but progress is being made on the casting side of things.

Today we’ve learned that both Kate McKinnon and Jemaine Clement have locked in spots in the Minecraft movie. As of this time, we have no idea who either actor will be portraying, and it will likely be quite some time until we do. McKinnon and Clement join Jack Black, Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Emma Myers as other confirmed cast members.

The Minecraft film is coming from Vertigo, co-financier Legendary, Mojang/Microsoft and Momoa’s On the Roam. Producers on the project include Roy Lee, Jon Berg, Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Momoa, Torfi Frans Olafsson, Vu Bui and the late Jill Messick. EPs are Todd Hallowell, Kayleen Walters, Brian Mendoza and Jonathan Spaihts.
