This is AMAZING news – especially if, like me, you lived for Lego as a child. Ever since Lego expanded their brand into the likes of video games etc, there has been word of a full-blown Lego movie hitting the screens, thanks in no small part to the gigantic success of the games. Now finally Warner Bros have greenlit the movie, and it is set to be released in 2014.
Slashfilm report that Chris Lord and Phil Miller, who directed the brilliant Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, are signed on to direct. They’ve described the movie as ‘something like if Michael Bay kidnapped Henry Selick to make a movie for him’ and have hinted that EVERYTHING, from the characters to the clouds, will be lego. How cool is that?
Some may scoff and say it’s a pointless adaptation, but Chris McKay of Robot Chicken fame is also on board, and this should ensure the movie is more than just a cash-in exercise. I cannot WAIT. Everyone knows the COOLEST kids played with Lego, no lie.
