The LEGO Movie Mysterious Message Being Revealed on Thursday

The LEGO Movie Wyldstyle

There’s a mysterious image posted on the official The LEGO Movie Facebook Page that shows Wyldstyle standing in front of the portal with the hashtag #BreakTheRules. What’s interesting is the caption also says “2 Days. It’ll be like Taco Tuesday… but on a Thursday” so it seems something big will be revealed on Thursday. The Lord of the Rings Facebook Page also has something similar with Gandalf in the image. What could this be? I doubt it’ll be something to do with The LEGO Movie Sequel since that movie is still three years away and they’re still in the early stages of production. Could it have to do with some of the spinoff movies that will be coming out in the next few years?

Rumors has it that the reveal will be the new LEGO Dimensions toys-to-life game that will be releasing this year. We shall all see what this all means together on Thursday!

The LEGO Movie at the 87th Academy Awards

Although The LEGO Movie was snubbed at the 87th Academy Awards, the theme song “Everything is Awesome” was still in the running for Best Original Song which was performed live by Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island. Unfortunately, the song lost to “Glory” from Selma but the best moments were during the performance.

Nathan Sawaya, who created the original Oscar statue that Phil Lord tweeted out last month, created a bunch more and they were handed out to various celebrities during the performance. Oprah Winfrey was one of these celebrities who received one and she was ecstatic to get one when the camera panned to her. Later on the performance, Will Arnett came out wearing the Batman Forever armor and sang a verse from Batman’s Song (Untitled Self Portrait).

Overall, it’s cool to see people getting some recognition for their work for The LEGO Movie as well as Nathan Sawaya for his rendition of the Oscar trophy created out of LEGO bricks.

Geek Culture notes that you can get one of these packets at any Starhub locations but you may want to verify first. As someone who will be celebrating the Lunar New Year next month, I wish I could get my hands on something like this but I probably won’t be able to. Thanks to Deborah for emailing this in.
