Rather than feel like a commercial, it felt like a tribute to the limitless possibilities of playtime – it was unafraid to jumble genres, blending action and comedy and on-point satire into a mixture that had absolutely no right to work. So when the director of The LEGO Batman Movie says that The LEGO Movie Sequel will be a musical and a “space action movie,” all you really can do is nod and think “Sure, okay.”Chris McKay, who was the animation supervisor and co-director on The LEGO Movie before taking the helm on The LEGO Batman Movie, was a guest on the Shanlian On Batman podcast (via Heroic Hollywood) and he spoke about the behind-the-scenes development of the sequel:LEGO 2 is going to be this big musical and space action movie. They need a lot of the writing, a lot of development, not only with script development, but development with songwriters. So it was very ambitious to get that movie out.The first LEGO Movie wasn’t a musical, but it did make wonderful use of the very catchy, Oscar-nominated theme song “Everything is Awesome,” which begins the film as a brutal, satiric riff on society’s inability to think critically and evolves into a tribute to teamwork and creativity as time goes on.
You still hear that song all the time (an orchestrated version of it played during the Academy Awards last night!), so it’s easy to see the appeal in going full musical. If people really liked one LEGO Movie song, then surely they’ll like many more?And of course, The LEGO Movie also featured Batman’s hilarious theme song, which features lyrics like “Darkness, no parents…” The LEGO Batman Movie also gave the Dark Knight a very silly musical number:This news comes to us not long after it was revealed that there have been some behind-the-scenes shake-ups on The LEGO Movie Sequel, with Trolls director Mike Mitchell replacing Rob Schrab at the helm of the whole operation. Matt Fogel also reportedly wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay, working on a script previously handled by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, who had rewritten Chris Miller and Phil Lord (who wrote and directed the first movie).The LEGO Movie was such a pleasant surprise, a pitch-perfect balancing act of elements that had no right to work.
The LEGO Batman Movie, while not quite as sturdy, was still full of its own special charms. Hopefully, The LEGO Movie Sequel, a musical full of space action, will be worth the wait.The LEGO Movie was a surprise animated smash-hit when it arrived in theaters, earning much in the way of critical acclaim and kicking off a lucrative multimedia franchise for Warner Bros. Pictures in the process. A pair of spinoff films are hitting theaters in 2017, in the forms of DC Comics-flavored superhero romp The LEGO Batman Movie – with Will Arnett reprising his eponymous role from LEGO Movie – and the kung fu-style adventure, The LEGO Ninjago Movie. Meanwhile, progress continues to be made on a direct followup to LEGO Movie, under a title that’s in keeping with the current branding approach for the LEGO film series: The LEGO Movie Sequel. LEGO Movie writers/directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller wrote the first script draft for The LEGO Movie Sequel, but first handed off the responsibility of directing to Chris McKay – The LEGO Movie animation supervisor, who is now directing The LEGO Batman Movie instead – while Lord and Miler work on Lucasfilm’s young Han Solo movie.
Fellow animation comedy filmmaker Rob Schrab was subsequently brought onboard to helm The LEGO Movie Sequel in McKay’s place, but the latter has now stepped down from the project and been replaced, too. THR is reporting that Schrab has left The LEGO Movie Sequel over “creative differences” and that Mike Mitchell is now onboard to direct the sequel in his place, drawing from the revised script draft written by Raphael Bob-Waksberg (creator of BoJack Horseman) and based on Lord and Miller’s initial draft. Mitchell is fresh off directing the animated musical Trolls for DreamWorks Animation, with his previous animated directing credits also including Shrek Forever After (another DreamWorks title). The most recent slate of developments concerning The LEGO Movie Sequel – now scheduled to hit theaters in 2019 rather than 2018 as initially planned – read as being a mixed blessing, all things considered. Bob-Waksberg reads as a good fit for the LEGO Movie franchise’s storytelling sensibilities, based on his own pop culture-savvy, often surreal and sometime even poignant animated comedy work on BoJack Horseman for Netflix.
Mitchell, on the other hand, has his fair share of perfectly serviceable family-friendly animated films under his belt at this stage in his career, but he has yet to helm a proper critical darling on the same level as either Lord and Miller’s LEGO Movie or their previous comparable output (see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs). Another factor to consider: WB’s plans for the LEGO film franchise is general may have significantly changed, by the time The LEGO Movie Sequel arrives on the scene. Depending on how both LEGO Batman Movie and LEGO Ninjago Movie perform at the box office, WB might be inclined to focus more on similar spinoffs (based around either popular LEGO characters or genre-themed LEGO properties) and less so on direct continuations of the original LEGO Movie‘s narrative. Similar to how fans are speculating that Lucasfilm may focus solely on Star Wars spinoff films after Episode IX hits theaters, it’s plausible WB will take a similar approach with its LEGO films.
