Variety is reporting that LEGO is allowing an action-adventure film to be made of their popular brand of block buildings and block people. LEGO has been resisting a movie for years, as the company is very protective of its brand.
Luckily for all of us, Dan and Kevin Hageman have pitched a story that touches on many of LEGO’s core values, so the company has finally relented. The LEGO movie will most likely be a mix of live-action and animation, but this is about all we know at this point. We can’t wait to find out more as these film talks continue!
