LEGO Movie (2014) - Blu-ray Forum

Hey,

Don't know how a LEGO movie would hold up, but it seems that WB may develop a movie based on LEGO building blocks.

(Wonder how this would turn out)

Quote:

With the success of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, movie studios are looking for the next toy they can turn into the next huge big screen franchise. Problem is, most of the good properties have already been snatched up, and we’re beginning to see Hollywood scraping the bottom of the barrel, acquiring the rights to board games and toys from yesteryear that either lack any recognizable narrative (ie Stretch Armstrong, Viewfinder) or no longer have name recognition from today’s kids.

I’ve become much less cynical about the whole process. When I learned today that Warner Bros is developing a film based on LEGO building blocks, my first thought was: hey, at least everyone knows what Lego is.

But what kind of story could be created using the toy building blocks? Most of the popular LEGO properties today involved other licensed properties. For example the video games and toy lines for Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman, Lego Indiana Jones and the video game Lego Rock Band (which I’m still trying to understand… what’s the purpose of the Lego involvement on that one?).

Enjoy.

Only a matter of time I suppose...from Comingsoon.net:

Quote:

Warner Bros. Pictures is developing a movie around LEGO and its popular building blocks, reports Variety. Dan and Kevin Hageman are writing the script for the family comedy that 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.

LEGO sparked to Lin and the Hageman brothers' embrace of core values LEGO wanted to include in a film, especially "a fun factor, creativity and that imagination has no boundaries," Lin said.

Anyone willing to place a bet the legos will be live action

lol i was just joking...the report says a mix of live action and animation....so i'm guessing the legos will be all computer

Deadset · 08-12-2009, 02:54 PM

I could see this being HUGE. I'm actually looking forward to it. The humor in the games is great.

mikejet · 08-12-2009, 02:56 PM

If they were going to make a movie with Legos they should make Microserfs.

I hope the legos are CGI, if not....

jasonicus · 08-12-2009, 03:00 PM

Well, they are making a freaking Monopoly movie and View Master, so why not Lego?

Jellybeans · 08-12-2009, 03:01 PM

This is pretty bad ass as Lego

The Rock · 07-15-2010, 03:14 AM

A Fail.

Walts Ghost · 06-18-2013, 11:47 PM

The trailer is here, and it's amazing!

EricJ · 06-19-2013, 12:03 AM

In fact, they seem to be priming the pump for it, as all the previous Bionicle, Ninjago and assorted other failed Lego-franchise CGI specials have now been added to Instant Netflix.
(But not that new "Lego Thundercats", or whatever that new franchise is called, that one will be rolled out later.)

Tony208 · 06-19-2013, 12:08 AM

animation wise it looks very promising, liked the lasers bit, it has the unique lego style

hope this isn't the closest thing to justice league

Just watched it with the kids, and yeah, we're definitely seeing it!

Archedamian · 06-19-2013, 12:33 AM

My sons and I love Legos. Will definitely see this.

EricJ · 06-19-2013, 04:44 AM

Uh, yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyou DO know that "the Directors of Cloudy/Meatballs" also the directors of "21 Jump Street", don't you?
(And that said directors making a movie with Will Ferrell in it?)

Just so everybody's warned.

Warner Bros. has constructed a release date for its 3D Lego movie.

Anna Faris is attached to this as well.
According to imdb it is currently filming.

jwerk · 06-21-2012, 03:23 AM

Not much info to go on yet, but I'm interested. Hopefully it's a fun, silly film like The Adventures of Clutch Powers. My kids have been asking about more LEGO movies since they watched that one, and the LEGO Star Wars blu-ray.
