Focus Features has released a new trailer for the Pharrell Williams biopic LEGO movie, Piece By Piece. This definitely a unique direction for a biopic, and it looks like it will deliver some fun entertainment!
Piece by Piece is described as “a unique cinematic experience that invites audiences on a vibrant journey through the life of cultural icon Pharrell Williams.
“Told through the lens of LEGO® animation, turn up the volume on your imagination and witness the evolution of one of music’s most innovative minds.”
Williams is a music mogul and as a producer on the film, he enlisted the help of Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland and Busta Rhymes to play roles.
The movie was directed by Morgan Neville, and he reached out to the production company and they were intrigued by the idea. Working together with Pharrell, “they captured his vision for the project and it was all full steam ahead.
Williams previously said of his involvement with the project: “When I had this crazy vision to tell this story through Lego bricks, I couldn’t have imagined a better partner than Morgan.
“He is a legend. Grateful that Focus wanted to collaborate with us and I’m honored to share this with the world and bring people into my universe. Building with Lego bricks encourages us to follow our imagination.
“Who would’ve thought that playing with these toys as a kid would evolve into a movie about my life? It’s proof that anyone else can do it too.”
Jill Wilfert, SVP Entertainment Partners and Content, the Lego Group also mentioned in that statement: “Pharrell is a true visionary and is someone who continually pushes the boundaries of what creativity means; something very close to our hearts here at the Lego Group.
“We believe the Lego brick is the ultimate creative medium, allowing people to build, unbuild and rebuild in as many ways as they can imagine, mirroring how Pharrell has continually innovated in his own life.
“Getting the opportunity to partner with him; with an incredible storyteller like Morgan Neville; and the wonderful team at Focus Features has been truly inspiring.
“The combined creativity of Pharrell and the Lego brick is truly something special to see come together.”
The movie will hit theaters on October 11th.
