When Pharrell Williams and Morgan Neville decided to embark on a movie about Williams’ life but animated in Lego pieces, they knew there would be culture shocks. But making “Piece by Piece” still led to some places that neither Williams, Neville or Lego could foresee. “Piece by Piece” did not come with any easy-to-assemble instructions.
As Israel plots to strike Iran, its choices range from symbolic to severeTampa Bay hasn’t been hit directly by a major hurricane since 1921.
“Piece by Piece,” which Focus Features releases in theaters Friday, begins, like many documentaries, with the director, Neville, sitting down with a camera crew focused on their subject, Williams. But in this case, Williams — and everything else, including a bearded, bespectacled Neville — are Lego. As proof of concept, Neville put together a 90-second video of Williams reflecting on his upbringing and the inspiration of artists like Stevie Wonder.
“There were definitely some areas that weren’t within my expectations of where we might go,” Wilfert says. “We had a lot of good dialogue throughout the whole process. Morgan and Pharrell, there was mutual respect because we are a brand that people have high expectations of and expect certain things of. So we did work with them on areas that we felt did make sense and didn’t make sense.”
“Piece By Piece,” though, does include a positive portrayal of Hugo, particularly in Williams’ early days in Virginia Beach, when the two began making music together. It’s a sentiment that Neville, as a protean documentarian used to adapting to the style and attitude of his subjects, can relate to.
