Emmet, an ordinary guy, is mistaken as being the Master Builder, the one who can save the universe. With the aid of an old mystic Vitruvius, a tough young lady named Lucy and Batman, Emmet will fight to defeat the evil tyrant President Business, who is bent on destroying the universe by gluing it together.[2]
The film has been in development at Warner Bros. since 2008.[5] In August 2009, it was announced that Dan and Kevin Hageman were writing the script for a comedy action adventure live-action/animated film.[6] Phil Lord and Chris Miller were hired in June 2010, to write and direct the film.[7] In November 2011, it was reported that Warner Bros. had green-lit the film, with a schedule to release it in 2014. Australian Animal Logic will provide the animation, which is expected to comprise 80% of the film. Chris McKay, the director of Robot Chicken, has also joined Lord and Miller to co-direct the film.[5] In March 2012, Lord and Miller revealed its working title, Lego: The Piece of Resistance, and a storyline: "It involves many worlds. Basically, the least qualified Lego characters in the universe having to keep the world from being frozen together."[8] In April 2012, Warner Bros. scheduled the film for February 28, 2014.[9] The first cast was reported in June 2012, with Chris Pratt voicing Emmet, the lead Lego character, and Will Arnett voicing Lego Batman; while the role of Lego Superman has been offered to Channing Tatum.[10] In August 2012, it was revealed that Elizabeth Banks will voice "tough-as-nails" Lucy and Morgan Freeman will lend his voice to Vitruvius, an old mystic.[11] The film will tell a story of Emmet, an ordinary, law-abiding, Lego minifigure, who is mistaken for the most extraordinary MasterBuilder. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers including Vitruvius, Lucy and Batman, on a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the universe together.[10][11] Since July 2012, a contest has been running on the official Facebook page, which will enable the winning Lego vehicle to appear in the film.[12] In October 2012, Warner Bros. shifted the release date for the film, simply titled Lego, to February 7, 2014.[13] On November 2012, Alison Brie, Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson and Nick Offerman have signed on for roles. Brie will voice a member of Emmet's team with a powerful secret, Ferrell will play a villain named President Business, Neeson will play a foe called Bad Cop and Offerman will play Metalbeard,[14] a pirate seeking revenge on the President.[15] On March 21, 2013, it was announced the name of the movie would be "The Lego Movie".[16]
The Lego Movie is scheduled to be released on February 7, 2014. The teaser trailer was released on June 18, 2013.[17]
