While A Minecraft Movie was being filmed, the producers set up a series of private servers for cast and crew to play Minecraft during the shoot. The most dedicated player by far was Jack Black, who clocked up 100 hours of playtime during filming. Originally cast as a talking pig but later promoted to the everyman player character Steve, the actor stayed up late to collect in-game lapis lazuli. “He was just completely manic, hoarding stuff in the mines,” one of the game’s developers told Variety. In his precious free hours outside of long filming days, Black might have wanted a break. But he had been enchanted by the same spell as hundreds of millions of players since the game first officially launched in 2011. Even if the film (which is released in cinemas this week) doesn’t end up pleasing critics, the game’s magic is undeniable. Once you start mining, it’s hard to stop.
在《我的世界大电影》(A Minecraft Movie)拍摄期间，制片人专门设置了一系列私人服务器，供演员和工作人员在拍摄期间玩《我的世界》。最投入的玩家无疑是杰克•布莱克(Jack Black)，他在拍摄期间累计玩了100小时。最初他被选为一个会说话的猪，但后来被提升为普通玩家角色史蒂夫。这位演员熬夜收集游戏中的青金石。“他完全是狂热的，在矿井里囤积东西，”游戏的一位开发者告诉《综艺》。在漫长的拍摄日之外的宝贵空闲时间里，布莱克可能想要休息一下。但自从2011年游戏正式发布以来，他就被数亿玩家所迷住的魔力所吸引。即使这部电影最终未能取悦评论家，游戏的魔力也是不可否认的。一旦你开始挖矿，就很难停下来。
