Mamoa, who plays Garrett "The Garbage Man," geared himself up every day before he got on set by listening to songs to get him into the spirit of the character. He says “The first song I would listen to when we were making this movie was Skid Row's ‘I Remember You,’ and something by Billy Idol,” he says. “There was lots of stuff from the second half of the ‘80s, when Garrett (my character) was a young rock star gamer. Those years were huge for me, too—Guns N’ Roses. I was around 10 years old, and it was fun to go back to that.”

Momoa remembers being intrigued when producer Cale Boyter, whom he had gotten to know very well when they made Dune together, first mentioned the movie. Recounts Momoa: “Cale was like, ‘I have this crazy idea. It's a comedy, and, dude, you'd be perfect for this role. Will you do it?’ And I said yeah, because I trust Cale. It's the first movie I've done like this, a live-action movie where it's going into a world like this, but it just happens to be the biggest one in history. It's amazing."

Interestingly, when Hess joined the project, Momoa was even more pleased to be on board, and he enjoyed working with Hess. “Jared has a weird, amazing sense of comedy, ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ is absolutely brilliant and so is ‘Nacho Libre.’ If I can always keep working for Jared, I will. I love his movies. He's pretty amazing at world-building. He was the perfect choice for this movie.” As for working with Jack Black, Momoa was thrilled. “I love Jack Black so much, I love everything he does. I was like, Cale, you have to get Jack Black. He had to be in it.”
The film also stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Hansen, with Jennifer Coolidge. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Present A Vertigo Entertainment/On The Roam/Mojang Studios Production, A Jared Hess Film, “A Minecraft Movie.” The film will be distributed by Warner Bros.
