Before ‘A Minecraft Movie,’ Its Director Created One of the Weirdest, Wildest Movies of the ’00s

Jared Hessis fast becoming known for films that enjoy a surprising amount of success, and aren't the types of films that one would expect to have success. First up was Napoleon Dynamite, which chronicled the life of Jon Heder's extremely awkward titular teenager. The film became a cult phenomenon, to the point where it spawned a short-lived animated series and an unofficial festival in Idaho. Nacho Librewould harness the power of Jack Black to sell the story of an orphaned cook turned masked wrestler, and survived mixed reviews to become a cult classic. Now, Hess has a legitimate blockbuster under his belt with A Minecraft Movie, which is sitting on top of the box office (not to mention holding the title of the highest-grossing video game movie). But there's one film Hess made that few under people's radar: Gentlemen Broncos.
