Michael Finch and Alex Litvak, best known for writing 2010’s sci-fi hit Predators, are in negotiations to pen the script for the project, which would be produced by Mark Gordon and Bryan Zuriff of the Mark Gordon Company along with Ben Forkner and Dean Schnider of Film 360, the production side of representation firm Management 360. As opposed to other Lego toys, Hero Factory, which is marketed with the tagline “We Build Heroes,” has a distinct storyline and a dense mythology. The characters hail from a planet where a factory churns out robotic machines whose goal is to fight intergalactic evil.
The heroes include characters such as Stormer, Bulk, Stringer, Furno and Breez with villains having monikers such as XPlode, Corroder, Meltdown and Von Nebular -- a good guy gone rogue. PHOTOS: Toy Wars: Battle of the Blockbuster Summer in 2011 The toy line, which comprises about 55 sets, debuted in 2010 as a replacement to Lego’s Bionicle line. The Hero Factory line includes not only the toys but comics, a computer app and a theme park. Hero Factory would be a live-action adaptation set in the world of the mythology and would be distinct from the building block-based Lego movie being made by Warner Bros. The latter is a CGI-animated feature that is in production under the direction of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Hollywood has shown increased interest in recent years in making films based on toys. Universal's most recent release, Battleship, is based on a Hasbro board game. The studio also developed Stretch Armstrong and Candyland, though the former is said to be in turnaround and the latter project moved to Sony with Adam Sandler's company attached to produce.
Transformers, based on the Hasbro autobots, has become a multibillion-dollar franchise for Paramount.

They also are writing Treasure Island for Fox. Litvak, who occasionally writes solo, wrote Five Against a Bullet, which Bruce Willis will shoot next year, as well as Summit’s recent adaptation of The Three Musketeers. The scribes are repped by Verve. Gordon and Film 360 have partnered on several other projects, including the adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s biography Steve Jobs that is set up at Columbia with Aaron Sorkin writing, and Cowboy Ninja Viking, an action movie based on the Image Comics title that has Marc Forster attached to direct for Universal. Kristen Lowe and Sara Scott will oversee the project for Universal. 'Logan' Premiere: Hugh Jackman Thanks Fans for 17 Years as Wolverine
Why 'Nightwing' Might Signal a Change in Direction for DC's Cinematic Universe Carrie Fisher's 1978 Oscar Date Recalls His Unexpected Evening With 'Star Wars' Royalty LEGO® Hero Factory Brain Attack (Free) by Amuzo Games Ltd puts you in charge of defending Makuhero City from hordes of brain creatures. Fight through the different levels with your trusty blaster and other assorted goodies in order to clean house. Your hero is granted a sidekick, who comes in quite handy as a teammate. Furno, Bulk, Breeze, and Rocka are all available to choose from. No matter which one you pick, they will follow you around the level, providing cover and helping to focus fire on the bad guys. Just make sure that you watch your sidekick’s back as well. Defeating the levels is possible without a sidekick, but it’s a lot harder. Just like in Hero Factory, the controls consist of a directional pad on the left and a fire button on the right. While looking like a dual stick controller game, aiming is automatically handled, meaning you only have to hit the fire button.
The shop allows you to upgrade the weapons and armor for your hero. You’ll earn credits to buy the fancy upgrades by defeating the levels. Gameplay tends to be repetitive as you move between each “wave” (level). The map is the same, it’s just the number and intensity of the baddies that changes. Another annoyance is how long the app takes to load. For such a simple game, you wouldn’t think it would take long at all. However, as you sit through the green progress bar inching across the screen upon startup, it’s hard not to wonder if there’s another game you’d rather be playing. Those who like the Hero Factory sets from LEGO will certainly appreciate being able to play a digital version of his or her favorite characters. As a free download, this is an app that parents may want to download to keep the kiddies busy while they are off from school on winter break. Even better, this free title has no in-app purchases or advertisements. As a side note, this game requires a gyroscope, meaning anything less than an iPhone 4 or iPad 2 will not work.
