Don't forget about the View-Master movie Orci and Kurtzman are developing. Not a joke.

A live action Toy Story with a twist! More branding!

By now it seems to be easier to tell which game/book/comic/jogging shoe has not been opted to be turned into a movie.

At least the set will be easy to build.

I'm guessing something along the lines of this. "Some random person (Brendan Fraser) get sucked into a magical world with wisecracking LEGO people!"

I don't know, it will be interesting to see how the pieces come together.


Sorry...

Hey... I love Lego too.

Somewhere, there's a picture of me, at 6 or 7, beaming my gap-toothed smile as I crack open one of those one Xmas.

Still... This is fucking stupid.

They should hire Michel Gondry for this.

There will be lines around the blocks to see this.

Seriously. Imagine a fully developed time travel/parallel universe/crazy action movie that is just entirely stop-motion Legos. Yeah, I know it won't happen, they'll make the Legos come to life and help some kid finish the big science project or some shit, but still, there is a potential here in my opinion. Will the potential be realized? More than likely, no.

The movie must feature a ticking-clock situation in which the fate of the world hangs on prying 2 of those thin LEGO pieces apart with stubby fingers.

Jesus. Think of the marketing tie-ins. You will be able to buy complete movie sets and recreate the film at home with your HD camcorder.

I think George Lucas just creamed his pants and simultaneously gave a KHAAAAAAAAAN yell for not being able to fuck this movie to death with merchandising.

I was just about to come in and say paging Michel Gondry, or even perhaps Spike Jonze but he probably does not want to follow WTWA with another kids movie

I think some Twilight Zone level thing where the kids builds a Lego city, and half of the film takes place in the imagination of the kid in said town would be awesome.

They really should do it all in stop motion. Like this...

But I can see it going CGI-3D. I probably wouldn't check it out in theatres but I'd be curious enough to see it on DVD.

I am certain to be in the minority here, but i never really enjoyed legos. sure, i'd dream of having one of the giant pirate sets, or what have you, but the truth is i found the blocks difficult to work with. for me at least, it was impossible to connect more than a few without breaking another off. i had a different kind of blocks my parents got me, though i forget now what they were called. they were wooden archtecture blocks, that fit together in interesting ways, and had paths you could roll marbles down and make your own courses. i also had these giant plastic blocks that were like super legoes.

I will say this.

Although the Lego movie sounds like a spectacularly retarded idea, there is a part of me that wants it to succeed.

That way we can all enjoy the madness of

LINCOLN LOGS

Com'n guys, a Lego Movie would of course be a...Blockbuster. Then it will be a franchise that a studio can...build a trilogy of films. The script would be easy to write that there wouldn't even be any excuse for writer's...Block.

I had alot of legos, because of this my Dad gave me a box to dump the legos in, and the next step was to throw away the instructions, because my friends and I would rather design our own ships, and cars. My friends and I used to make crash up derby cars, and after a collision there would be pieces flying...everywhere.
