Jason Momoa and Jack Black take cinemagoers into the world of Minecraft.

On September 4, Warner Bros. Pictures released the first teaser trailer for A Minecraft moviein which 45-year-old Momoa stars as a man who is mysteriously transported into the world of the popular video game series along with his co-stars Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen.

The teaser shows the Beatles tour “Magical Mystery Tour” Minecraftthe typical building blocks, monsters and villains – as well as Black’s character, who, much to the chagrin of the other character, simply introduces himself to the group as Steve.

“This guy is such an idiot,” says Myers’ character Natalie in the trailer.

Jennifer Coolidge is also said to appear in the film, but she cannot be seen in the trailer.
