Theme park attraction(s) The Lego Movie: 4D – A New Adventure

The Lego Movie is an American media franchise and shared universe based on Lego construction toys. It began with the 2014 film The Lego Movie , which was directed and written by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The success of the film led to the release of two licensed video games, a 4D film theme park attraction, two spin-off films titled The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie , which were released in 2017, Unikitty! an animated television series that also came out in the same year, and the sequel to the original film titled The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part in 2019. Plans for a third spin-off film and a sequel to The Lego Batman Movie were later shelved. Development would end in 2020, with Warner Bros. letting the rights lapse back to The Lego Group after The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part underperformed at the box office and the studio failed to create any new projects within that time frame.

Contents

The franchise has received a generally positive critical reception, with the exception of The Lego Ninjago Movie which received mixed reviews, and has grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

While Warner Bros. still owns the rights to the projects in their franchise, including the Unikitty! animated television series, Universal Pictures bought the rights to make separate films in a 5-year deal.

The first separate Lego film under Universal's run of the film rights, Piece by Piece , was released on October 11, 2024, while five new Lego films under the new deal are in development.

Films

All four films in the franchise were produced as a collaboration between Warner Animation Group, Lego System A/S, Rideback (formerly Lin Pictures), Lord Miller Productions, Vertigo Entertainment, and Animal Logic, who also provided the animation. All four films were distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

Before the critical acclaim and blockbuster success of The Lego Movie , talks for a sequel were already in motion. On February 3, 2014, Jared Stern and Michelle Morgan were tasked to write a screenplay. [1] On February 21, 2014, the studio scheduled the sequel for a May 26, 2017, release. [2] On March 12, 2014, Deadline reported that the first film's animation co-director Chris McKay would direct the sequel with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as producers. [3] Warner Bros. did not invite co-producer of the first film, Village Roadshow Pictures, to return as a participant in the sequel, due to Warner Bros. having now more confidence in the film and trying to keep as much profit as possible for itself. [4] On April 10, 2014, McKay expressed that he would like to introduce more women in the sequel than men. [5] On July 28, 2014, it was reported that on the internet, Chris Pratt expressed interest in reprising his role as Emmet for the sequel. [6] It was also reported that Will Arnett might return as Batman, but had not decided yet.[ citation needed ]

[8] The writers implied that the sequel would take place four years after the events of The Lego Movie. [9] In February 2015, Warner Bros. announced that the title of the sequel had been changed to The Lego Movie Sequel, and that Rob Schrab, co-writer of Monster House replaced McKay as director since McKay went to direct The Lego Batman Movie. [10] According to an interview at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the sequel would focus on Emmet and his sister, taking place in a "weird, dystopian version of Bricksburg." [11] On April 20, 2015, Warner Bros. scheduled The Lego Movie Sequel for a May 18, 2018 release date. [12] On June 17, 2016, the film's release was delayed until February 8, 2019. [13] By July 2016, Raphael Bob-Waksberg had been hired to do rewrites of the script. [14] By February 2017, Schrab had been replaced by Mike Mitchell, reportedly due to "creative differences". [15] On September 6, 2017, it was announced that production of The Lego Movie Sequel would begin in Canada on October 2, 2017. [16] [17] It was also announced that Lord and Miller returned to re-rewrite the script to tackle gender issues on how a girl plays versus how a boy plays. [18]

On March 23, 2018, it was confirmed that Tiffany Haddish was cast in the film as a new lead character while returning actors would be Pratt as Master Builder Emmet Brickowski, and addition to reprise the role of Emmet, Pratt would also voice the antagonist, Rex Dangervest. Elizabeth Banks reprises her role as Wyldstyle, and Arnett returns to reprise Batman, Channing Tatum as Superman & Jonah Hill as Green Lantern. [19] On May 21, 2018, Warner Bros. officially renamed the film The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part along with releasing the first teaser poster. [20] [21]

[7] [22] Will Arnett returned to voice Batman, with Chris McKay, who was earlier attached to the sequel, directing the film, the story written by Seth Grahame-Smith, and the film produced by Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. [23] On April 20, 2015, Warner Bros. scheduled The Lego Batman Movie for a February 10, 2017 release. [12] In July 2015, Arnett's Arrested Development co-star Michael Cera was cast to voice Robin.

[25] In October 2015, Rosario Dawson was cast to voice Barbara Gordon, the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon who later becomes the crime-fighting heroine Batgirl. [26] The following month, Ralph Fiennes was cast as Alfred Pennyworth, [27] Bruce Wayne's butler.

[30] The first trailer for the film was released on March 24, 2016, followed by a second on March 28 the same year. The film was released in the United States on February 10, 2017.

The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017)

Brothers Dan and Kevin Hageman, who wrote Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and co-wrote the story of The Lego Movie , co-wrote the film adaptation of Lego Ninjago , which features a new take that diverges from the TV series.

Cancelled films

The Billion Brick Race

In March 2015, Warner Bros. announced that a third Lego Movie spin-off, titled The Billion Brick Race, was in development. By July 2016, Jason Segel and Drew Pearce signed onto the project as co-directors and co-writers. [31] [32] [33] In August 2017, it was announced that Jorge R. Gutierrez was hired to replace them as its sole writer and director. At that time, the film was scheduled to be released on May 24, 2019 (The day Aladdin was released). [34]

By February 2018, Gutierrez had left the project declaring it a failure. [35] In July 2018, the film's plot was announced by Pearce to be a Lego racing film, inspired by pre-existing racing films, including The Cannonball Run . [36]

In December 2019, concept art of the film's main characters was revealed by the film's initial director Jorge R. Gutierrez, along with the confirmation that he had permanently cancelled the project. The poor box office results of The Lego Ninjago Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part , along with the film's lengthy conceptual phase, were given as the primary reasons. [37] [38]

In July 2022, Gutierrez stated on Twitter that he intended for the film's two leads to be voiced by Diego Luna and Emma Stone. The film was also going to include elements of time travel as well as an appearance by the creator of Lego, Ole Kirk Kristiansen. [39]

Lego Superfriends

In December 2018, Chris McKay confirmed that a sequel to The Lego Batman Movie was in development, with him returning to direct. The film was set for a release in 2022. [40] However, while the rights of DC Comics are owned by Warner Bros., the sequel was cancelled due to Warner Bros. losing the Lego film rights after The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part underperformed at the box office, with Universal signing a deal as the distributor for future Lego films. [41]

In June 2021, McKay revealed that the script was being written by Michael Waldron and Dan Harmon, and was stated to have taken notes from The Godfather Part II as well as Boogie Nights . The film would have focused on Batman's relationship with the Justice League, particularly Superman, and the main antagonists would have been Lex Luthor and OMAC. [42] The film was tentatively titled Lego Superfriends. [43]

Future

Universal Pictures deal

After any of the LEGO films that Warner had planned failed to enter development, along with the box office underperformance of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Universal Pictures entered early negotiations in December 2019 to distribute upcoming feature film properties based on the Lego toys. Although Universal will develop and distribute future Lego films, the original The Lego Movie characters (Emmet, Wyldstyle, Unikitty, Benny, MetalBeard, etc.) and projects (The Lego Movie, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, The Lego Batman Movie, and The Lego Ninjago Movie) are still owned by Warner Bros. In April 2020, the deal with Universal was set for a limited 5-year film deal. The company plans to include its own franchises and characters in its run of Lego films. [44]

Untitled live-action/animated Lego film

On August 5, 2022, in a podcast interview with The Ankler , Dan Lin revealed that he'll produce an upcoming Lego film that is in development, saying "We know we have to switch it up and take to a different art form that's still true to LEGO." Lin promised that the creative team had "reinvented" the Lego world for the film, but it does not yet have a release date. [45] [46] By July 2023, it was announced that it will be a live-action/animation hybrid similar to the films of The Lego Movie franchise, and that Aaron and Adam Nee were attached to direct the film. [47] [48]

Piece by Piece

Various untitled live-action Lego films

Kasdan’s film is based on an original concept by Matt Mider and Kevin Burrows, featuring a script by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul. Jenkins is working with Geoff Johns to write the screenplay of her film. Cornish, in turn, is revising a draft by Heather Anne Campbell based on a treatment by Simon Rich. These films are announced to be set in live-action. [49] It remains unclear whether these films will incorporate animation in any form or be entirely live-action.

Untitled live-action Lego Ninjago film

A new live-action film set in the Lego Ninjago theme is confirmed, and will be written by Dan and Kevin Hageman, who were initially the head writers of the first nine seasons of the original Ninjago television series.
