“” director has been tapped to construct “The Lego Movie” sequel for Warner Bros. Animation. He’s replaced Rob Schrab on the project, which is set for a Feb. 8, 2019, release. Producers are “Lego Movie” directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, along with Dan Lin and Roy Lee. Jill Wilfert from Lego Group, Chris McKay and Jinko Gotoh are executive producing. Lord and Miller wrote the first draft of the script for the sequel with Raphael Bob-Waksberg taking care of a re-write. Matt Fogel has written the latest draft. Schrab departed due to creative differences. Mitchell’s credits include “Shrek Forever After,” “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked” and “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.” He also directed live-action titles “Sky High” and “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.” “Trolls,” produced by DreamWorks Animation and released by Fox, generated a solid $338 million on worldwide box office following its opening in November. “The Lego Movie” grossed nearly $470 million worldwide in 2014 amid strong support from critics and fans for its goofy story line and unique look.
That success spurred Warner Bros. to develop “Lego Batman,” which opens Feb. 10 against “Fifty Shakes Darker” and “John Wick: Chapter Two.” Both “The Lego Movie” and “Lego Batman” are animated by Warner Bros. and Australian animation house Animal Logic. “The Lego Movie” sequel was originally dated for May, 2018. Mitchell is repped by UTA and Hansen Jacobson.In the spirit of The LEGO Movie a new section has been added to The LEGO Movie website that I hope we will see more of; downloadable alternate instructions for official LEGO sets! There are six models included, combining sets from different LEGO themes. They are creative, imaginative and really fun! Check them out below! The model I like the most is the Ice-Cream Cruiser that combines the #30300 LEGO Master Builder Academy Space Designer set, and the #70804 The LEGO Movie Ice Cream Machine. My second favorite is the Lion Claw Mark VIII, an awesome vehicle for Laval combining the #31017 LEGO Creator Sunset Speeder and the #70123 LEGO Legends of Chima Lion Legend Beast.
Eris also gets a new ride in the Raptor Rally Bike by combining the #31022 LEGO Creator Turbo Quad and the #70124 LEGO Legends of Chima Eagle Legend Beast. A couple of Ninjago sets also get a makeover (I like how LEGO designers used sets that kids likely already have in their collection). The Termo-Bolt Fire Flyer combines the #60061 LEGO City Airport Fire Truck and the #70721 LEGO Ninjago Kai Fighter. The other Ninjago sets that gets transformed is the #70723 LEGO Ninjago Thunder Raider, which, combined with the #60056 LEGO City Tow Truck, becomes the Hydro-Turbo Sky-Ray (cool name!). There is also one more downloadable instruction, building a Dimensional Portal Machine for Emmet, which is not a combination of any sets, but you can build them from pieces of your LEGO collection (it is quite small with common parts, so you should have no trouble putting it together). LEGO has been criticized by some people for not providing enough alternate instructions and ideas for LEGO sets as they have done in the past. T
hese downloadable instructions appear to be bringing back that feature and I hope there will be more. You can download the instructions for all six models from LEGO’s website at the following link: LEGO CREATE & COMBINE MODELS What do you think? How do you like these alternate LEGO models?

Free next day Click+Collect* You could actually build every scene from The Lego Movie 01.12.2015 :: 4:32PM EST Everything really is awesome in The Lego Movie. Because of the incredible amount of detail the animation team put into each and every scene. Director Chris Miller says he and Phil Lord had this as their goal: that if you”froze any single frame out of the movie, it would actually be something that you could build yourself.” That’s an awfully ambitious goal for a 100-minute film, but that’s exactly what animators accomplished. Designers were able to utilize digital versions of every brick in Lego’s expansive library, says lead animator David Williams. You get a pretty good sense of that if you pause a particularly action-packed scene in the movie, and it’s even easier to see when you look at a render like this one:Miller wanted everything animated using real (well, real digital, anyway) Lego bricks, and that’s what the CG team gave him. Supervisor Aidan Sarsfeld says that “the film itself is not a cheat.
It’s a real Lego block film, all of the things that you see on the screen are 100% Lego blocks.” When you see a wide shot of a cityscape containing dozens or even hundreds of buildings in the film? Sarsfeld assures that each and every one of them is made entirely out of bricks — even down to the smallest of details, like bird cages, garden boxes, and lamps. Miller and Lord didn’t want to sacrifice any realism just because they weren’t stop-motion animating actual bricks. They made sure that bricks in the movie had to look just like yours — with slight color variations, the odd fingerprint smudge, even chips, cracks, and battle damage (most of us have a Benny or two in our collections). A lot of time was spent studying real Lego and photographing them with macro lenses to give every scene the look of something that had been assembled by hand. Now that you’ve had a behind-the-scenes look, why not see if Miller and Sarsfeld are telling the truth? Go pause your favorite scene and see if you can’t construct an exact replica.
