SEBASTIAN HANSEN: Do we have to say Minecraft?
MYERS: No, because I would be bad.
I’m going to go with Animal Crossing because you’re free to’t really lose at Animal Crossing.

And my island is killer, so…
Do you still play?
MYERS: Oh, yeah!
Did you start with COVID?

MYERS: No, no, no, I was O.G.
I had it back on my little DS.
MYERS: The Wii!
I’ve grown up with Animal Crossing.
I started with COVID.
MYERS: I do love New Leaf.
New Leaf is the best one from the DS.
She’s proving that she plays.
MYERS: I would win when I would play.
HANSEN: I think I could do Minecraft.
I think I could beat Minecraft easily.
I remember trying to speedrun it during COVID.
I think I got under 30 minutes.
HANSEN: To beat the game.
MYERS: You killed the Ender Dragon in 30 minutes?
MYERS: How did you do that?
So I think I could beat it pretty easily without dying.
Both of you could destroy me in this game.
The Set For A Minecraft Movie Is Entirely Practical!
“Most of the items are real.”
What do you think soon-to-be-fans of this movie would be surprised to learn about the making of the movie?
That’s not CGI.
That whole thing was built on a huge soundstage.
Most of the items are real.
We got such a big, fun cast.
Any of the BTS, if they record any of it.
MYERS: Yeah, yeah.
I borrowed my Xbox.
HANSEN: I borrowed my Xbox, too.
MYERS: We had a server with everybody.
The whole crew had a joined server.
HANSEN: And because Microsoft is with Xbox.
Itmayhave been in my suitcase on the way home.
I don’t think they’re going to care that you took it.
MYERS: I hope not!
HANSEN: I mean, it’s been a good five months.
MYERS: It’s been longer than five months, its been almost a year.
HANSEN: Oh yeah.
More than a year, so…
MYERS: I think they’ve forgotten about it for now.
Emma, I do have to ask you an individual question.
I’m really looking forward toWednesdaySeason 2.
Jenna [Ortega] told me that there’s an episode based on slashers.
She teased a bunch.
It sounds really cool.
What do you want to tell people about Season 2?
MYERS: I honestly enjoyed Season 2, script-wise, more than Season 1.
Thats all Ill say.
One of the things that really surprised me about this movie is how offbeat some of the humor is.
There’s some weird jokes and some stuff that I wasn’t expecting.
It really made me laugh.
HANSEN: I mean, after watchingNapoleon DynamiteandNacho Libre,surprised, definitely.
I don’t think a lot of people could.
He’s definitely a very creative person.
MYERS: I think also collabing with Jack.
The two of them worked so well together.
We had a good team going becauseI could not dowhat Jack does.
MYERS: He’s incredible.
And also he moves really fast.
Yeah, hes a little older.
MYERS: That’s true.
