Movies

LEGO: The Piece of Resistance is a movie scheduled for theaters on February 28 2014. It's said to be a cross of live action and animation.

Description from movieweb.com

Warner Bros. Pictures is developing a movie around LEGO and its popular building blocks. The family comedy will mix live action and animation. The studio is keeping the plot tightly under wraps, but it's described as an action adventure set in a LEGO world.

Development

The plans to develop the movie were revealed in August 2009. In June 2010 it was reported that Phil Lord and Chris Miller were going to write and direct the movie. In November 11, 2011 it was revealed that the release of the film will be in 2014 and it would be developed by the Australian company Animal Logic.

In March 2012, Phil Lord and Chris Miller stated a possible working title could be "Lego: The Piece of Resistance" and that story development, character design, and casting would begin shortly. "In the 3 to 4 months, hopefully," Phil Lord stated.

Plot

In April 2012, writer Phil Lord stated: "It is the story of basically a young man who doesn't have a creative bone in his body and [he] has to always build things from the instructions, he's an 'instructions worker'. In the LEGO city, they build buildings, and it turns out in this universe it's illegal to build apart from the instructions. So what he finds out is that he's actually [a] descendant from these like super creative Jedi-type people who are called 'Master Builders' and he has been charged with saving the universe from being frozen together by an evil bad guy, so over the course of the movie he has to unlearn all of that lame-o, uncreative stuff and learn how to build without all of the instructions in order to save the universe."

Cast

  • Chris Pratt as Emmet the lead character, "an ordinary, law-abiding, Lego mini-figure who is mistaken for the most extraordinary MasterBuilder. He's drafted into a fellowship of strangers on a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the universe together."
  • Will Arnett as Lego Batman.[1]
  • Channing Tatum as Lego Superman.
