Minecraft's long-in-the-works movie adaptation continues to pick up steam, with the news White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge has now joined its cast. Coolidge - who received widespread acclaim for her role as Tanya McQuoid in HBO's stellar White Lotus following an already impressive decades-long acting career - joins a cast including Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, and Jack Black. The Minecraft movie is being helmed by Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre director Jared Hess (who joined the project after a version directed by Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney failed to get off the ground), and filming reportedly began in New Zealand toward the end of last year.
