Lego Movie #'s?

[Impact]

This could break February's record.

But by the time Lego 2 comes out people might be lego'ed out.

[Neo]

Does anyone have a link for Lego Movie's preview #?

Michael Cera as Robin!

 

That's fantastic casting, I do wonder whether it'll just feature DC characters or have characters from other WB franchises make appearances.

Zach Galifianakis is in final negotiations to voice the villain in Lego Batman, Warner Bros.’ spinoff of The Lego Movie.

Galifianakis will voice Batman’s classic archenemy, the Joker, joining Will Arnett, who is reprising the role of the Caped Crusader he originated in Lego Movie. Michael Cera recently came on board to voice the hero’s sidekick, Robin.

Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the custodians of the Lego screen brand, are producing.

Chris McKay, the animation supervisor on Lego Movie, is directing the project, which has a script written by author-screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith.

i dont think it makes sense to do two spin-off films before the Lego sequel. Takes away the anticipation and uniqueness. Can anyone explain to me why WB is waiting more than 4 years to release it?

Rosario Dawson is Batgirl: http://variety.com/2015/film/news/lego-batman-batgirl-rosario-dawson-1201619813/

 

Ralph Fiennes is Alfred: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ralph-fiennes-lego-batman-finds-836338

[Jonwo]

Fiennes is great casting as Alfred, i do wonder how they'll make this fit into the Lego universe and not just make it a Batman film that is Legofied. 

[WrathOfHan]

Rosario Dawson is now in two comic cinematic universes.

Will probably be a spoof. Not an Adam West-style camp spoof, I would guess more a gentle, loving, self-aware ribbing of the general "dark" Batman of the past 25 years. Basically, the Lego Movie character extrapolated to an entire universe. And with Lego-related jokes and sight gags thrown in.

 

Just my guess. There is plenty of precedent in the Lego video games for this sort of thing.

It's a shame Disney will never lend the Marvel characters to a Lego film, would be hilarious to see Lego Batman interact with Lego Iron Man.

Yeah, the Star Wars appearances were surprising enough. WB had to rush to get their agreement with Lucasfilm finalized before the Disney deal happened.

 

If only we could go back in time to the 80s and snatch up height-of-his-power Steven Spielberg to executive produce, THEN we could get Lego DC vs. Marvel. He was the only person who could get Disney and WB to agree to anything.

I'm now wondering whether Fiennes would've made a better live action Alfred over Irons.
