Jack Black energized by new rock song on ‘Minecraft’ movie soundtrack
Jack Black, known for his tenacious personality, has recently dropped a brand-new rock track titled “I Feel Alive” for the upcoming Minecraft Movie soundtrack. This live-action adaptation of the widely popular sandbox game from 2011 promises to bring an exciting musical twist with Jack Black’s energetic vocals.
The song is a treasure trove of Easter eggs that pay homage to the game, featuring lyrics such as “I move mountains with my mind” and “I don’t wanna be running from zombies for the rest of our lives,” cleverly referencing the game’s mechanics and characters. The release of this song comes on the heels of a parody video by a YouTube creator that gained viral fame in 2024, speculating on what a Minecraft-themed song by Jack Black might sound like. Fans of both the game and the actor are eagerly anticipating the synergy between the two.
Directed by Jared Hess, known for his work on films like “Nacho Libre” and “Napoleon Dynamite,” A Minecraft Movie stars Jack Black himself as Steve, a character obsessed with mining. The plot takes a surprising turn when a group of misfits – Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, Dawn, Natalie, and Henry – find themselves transported to the Overworld after discovering a mysterious glowing rock. The only way home is to navigate this blocky fantasy land, embarking on a spellbinding adventure filled with creativity and imagination.
As fans eagerly await the movie’s release, they can enjoy the electrifying rock vibes of “I Feel Alive” while immersing themselves in the world of Minecraft. Adding to the musical experience, the film’s score will be composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, renowned for his work with the ’80s New Wave band DEVO and hits like “Whip It.”
A Minecraft Movie is set to hit Philippine cinemas on April 2, promising an engaging and visually stunning experience for fans of the game and movie buffs alike. With Jack Black bringing his unique energy to the soundtrack and an exciting cast of characters, this live-action adaptation is sure to capture hearts and imaginations worldwide. So get ready to dive into the pixelated world of Minecraft like never before and let the music take you on a thrilling journey through Steve’s mining adventures.
