Good grief. It was only a mater of time I suppose. With every other toy and board game being turned into a movie, Lego’s would be the next logical choice I guess. A movie about colorful building blocks.
Dan and Kevin Hageman have been brought on board to write the script for the film, which will be a mix of live-action and animation. Of course Warner Bros. is keeping the plot under wraps, they don’t want us to know what is really going on. I wonder if it will be anything like the Lego video games that have been developed, only an original concept. There are tons of different types of lego play sets out there to base the film off of, maybe they will combine them all. Maybe Lego Batman, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter all go on a crazy adventure together.
As for the screenwriters, the Hageman brothers recently wrote the CG feature Hotel Transylvania for Sony Pictures Animation. They also adapted fantasy book The Lies of Locke Lamora for Warner Bros. They first landed the attention of Hollywood in 2003, when Steven Spielberg tapped the scribes to pen the drama Charlie Dills based on his own idea.
I have no clue what type of movie they are planing, but it definitely will be targeted to kids, because I have no interest what-so-ever in a film that is built with Lego’s, unless those Lego’s come to life and start killing people. Attack of the killer Lego’s… that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
What kind of Lego movie do you want to see get made?

Maybe a re-make of "The Wall"?
How can this possibly work? They are littl eblocks that you snap together to make things.
Maybe if you construct a plot around the world of lego build people and places? I don't know…it may work but has that "may really suck" feel to it as well.
If you've ever played a LEGO video game, you know how feasible/cool it could be.
They should make a LEGO Matrix or LEGO Bourne.
Some boy will be sucked into his own lego universe he created and has to figure a way out
omg LEGO matrix might just be the best thing since sliced bread. but FreekyMage has a point – soemthing like that as a backdrop for a plot would be amazing
Uh oh. If there was a suck-O-meter that beeped around all the movie news that sucked, it would freaking explode at this. I cannot even BEGIN to imagine how the heck they are going to make a movie based around LEGO's. I mean, you can build anything with them. Can these writers build a hit? I hope so. But this all sounds very very suckish and kiddish and meh.
LOL – or perhaps 'Brick Up Your Ears'.
LEGO Die Hard !!! Yippee ki-yay, motherf***ker !!!
I agree James
Why????
I think it would be really neat if they did it sort of like claymation only with lego's instead of clay. I mean. It would be really neat. I'd go see it just because it's made entirely of legos! I love stuff like the Nightmare Before Christmas, the Corpse Bride, and Coraline. Stop frame would be amazing.
LEGO UNIVERSE mmo video game is going to be awesome as well! amazing even! Forget the movie, buy the video game!
