Undoubtedly one of my most anticipated films of 2014 is The Lego Movie. The animated film comes from writers/directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street) and features a fantastic ensemble voice cast that includes Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, and Morgan Freeman. Today, Warner Bros. has unveiled the first logo for the film along with the announcement of a neat-sounding contest that gives fans the opportunity to have some of their own work appear in the film. Hit the jump for more and to get a good look at the logo. based on the story of The Lego Movie.

The 3D computer animated adventure tells the story of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world.
He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. The LEGO Movie stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Morgan Freeman as the voices of the animated characters. The film is directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) from their original screenplay, and story by Dan Hageman & Kevin Hageman and Phil Lord & Christopher 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. The film will be produced by Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) and Roy Lee (The Departed, How to Train Your Dragon).
Are you sure you want to log out of LEGO Ideas? Emmet's Apartment from The LEGO Movie Official LEGO Comments 1 Last Updated 2 years ago. Click "Updates" above to see the latest. It might almost seem obvious, but one of the most appealing aspects of The LEGO Movie was the care and detail that went into the less action-oriented sets, like Emmet's Apartment. This was where he actually lived,and it is the perfect backdrop for all sorts of additional creativity and play. My son and I carefully took pictures of the paused movie when it came out on DVD, counted out bricks to get dimensions, and drew floor-plans to figure out how it all worked. We feel this version is about 90% accurate, though some details were not clearly shown in the movie (like the sink and toilet in his bathroom). We added items or details that make his place more realistic to live in, like additional kitchen cabinets, a record player, etc. Some details were simplified, like the crown mould on the walls.
