Talking to Jason Momoa Jack Black

Prepare to be moved by the incredible story of Kevin Labello, a 9-year-old Minecraft enthusiast, and the heartwarming wish that brought a community, and even Hollywood, together. This is more than just a movie release; it's a testament to the power of empathy, community, and shared passions in the face of unimaginable circumstances. Learn how a simple Facebook message sparked a chain reaction that led to a private screening of the Minecraft movie for Kevin, fulfilling his final wish.

Kevin's story is one that highlights the intersection of a major film release and a deeply personal struggle. Diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) in February 2025, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer primarily affecting children, Kevin's prognosis was grim. DIPG, located in the pons region of the brainstem, makes treatment incredibly challenging due to its diffuse nature and the vital functions controlled by the pons, such as breathing and heartbeat. While organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital continue to battle DIPG, Kevin's family focused on fulfilling his greatest wish: to see the Minecraft movie.

The Minecraft movie, released in April 2025 and directed by Jared Hess (known for Napoleon Dynamite), boasts a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen. The plot centers around a group of misfits navigating the Overworld, and the film achieved record-breaking success at the box office for a video game adaptation. However, Kevin's time was limited, making a traditional release impossible.

His mother, Justine, initiated a grassroots campaign by reaching out to a friend in the film industry. Miraculously, this message found its way to Kim Ross, a snake wrangler in Georgia, who championed Kevin's wish within the local film community. Within two weeks, word reached the studio, resulting in a private screening arranged specifically for Kevin. This event included a green and brown "Minecraft" carpet, a personal appearance by actor Sebastian Hansen (who played Henry), and even a FaceTime call with Jason Momoa and Jack Black, where Jack Black famously declared, "I am Steve!" The studio also provided Kevin with exclusive movie merchandise. The family emphasized that the screening was a joyful occasion, free from any mention of Kevin's illness. Justine documented the experience on TikTok under the handle "Snakes and Shoulders," and the story gained traction on gaming news channels and Reddit.

This act of compassion echoes similar instances in Hollywood, such as J.J. Abrams arranging early screenings for Star Wars fans facing terminal illnesses. Organizations like Make-A-Wish consistently provide life-changing experiences for children with critical illnesses. Kevin's story underscores the importance of wish-granting and the extraordinary impact of community support during difficult times. It highlights how shared passions, even in the realm of video games, can connect people and create moments of profound joy when they are needed most. The ripple effects of a single act of kindness can be immeasurable.
