Plans building for theatrical LEGO feature film

LEGO Movie

The first-ever full-length the­atri­cal LEGO movie will open across the United States on Feb­ru­ary 28, 2014, it was announced Mon­day by Dan Fell­man, pres­i­dent of domes­tic dis­tri­b­u­tion for Warner Bros. Pictures.

Cur­rently in pro­duc­tion, the 3D computer-animated adven­ture will be directed by Phil Lord and Christo­pher Miller from their orig­i­nal screen­play, story by Dan Hage­man and Kevin Hage­man, Lord and Miller, based on LEGO Con­struc­tion Toys. It will incor­po­rate some of the LEGO world’s most pop­u­lar fig­ures while intro­duc­ing sev­eral new char­ac­ters, invit­ing fans who have enjoyed the brand’s inno­v­a­tive toys and hugely pop­u­lar video games for gen­er­a­tions to expe­ri­ence their visu­ally unique LEGO world as never seen before.

Lord and Miller pre­vi­ously teamed on the hit 21 Jump Street and the 2009 ani­mated com­edy adven­ture Cloudy with a Chance of Meat­balls, which was nom­i­nated for a Golden Globe Award.

As yet unti­tled, the film will be pro­duced by Dan Lin (Sher­lock Holmes, Sher­lock Holmes: A Game of Shad­ows) and Roy Lee (How to Train Your Dragon, The Departed).
