A new report gives insight into Universal's new Lego Movie, more than 3 years after the studio bought the franchise rights once owned by Warner Bros.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT New reports give the first update on Universal’s plans for their own The Lego Movie, more than three years after the studio assumed stewardship of the IP. Despite having a long history of direct-to-video films and television specials, Warner Bros. shattered all expectations with 2014’s The Lego Movie, the first theatrical release based on the iconic Danish toy.
According to Variety, inside sources say that directorial duo Adam and Aaron Nee, who were attached to Netflix’s recently cancelled Masters of the Universe reboot, have signed on to develop a new live-action and animated hybrid film based on the LEGO brand. Per the original report, it is suggested that this deal was finalized prior to the recent strike action currently affecting Hollywood.
What Lego’s Move To Universal Will Mean For The Next Lego Movie With studios currently embroiled in ongoing industrial action with both the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists , it will likely be some time before more details emerge surrounding Universal’s own plans for a Lego Movie.
While Warner Bros.' The Lego Movie and its sequel introduced audiences to a range of original characters led by Chris Pratt’s Emmet Brickowski, it also relied heavily on the studio’s other IP to fill out its roster with more well-known pop-culture characters. In addition to Will Arnett’s Lego Batman, the films would often draw upon other characters from the DC Universe, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings.
It is possible, however, that the Nee brothers may have something else planned altogether, and they may seek to differentiate their own The Lego Movie and avoid the same kind of pop-culture references that Lord and Miller relied on. Either way, viewers should probably not expect to see Arnett’s Lego Batman or his assorted friends make their way across to Universal.
