Lord and Miller Writing Script for The LEGO Movie 2

October 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. has signed Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to write the script for The LEGO Movie 2. The pair wrote and directed the first LEGO Movie which became a blockbuster hit grossing $468 million in theaters. They were slated to produce the sequel but there wasn’t any indication before whether they would do anything else besides producing. There’s no word yet if they will be directing as well. Since Lord and Miller will be writing the script, it’ll be interesting to see which direction the sequel will go, whether it’ll continue off from the first movie or do a new storyline.

The LEGO Movie 2 will be released on May 26, 2017. Dan Lin and Roy Lee will be producing along with Lord and Miller. Jill Wilfert, Matt Ashton, Chris McKay and Kara Lord Piersimoni are signed on to be executive producers.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Mr. Freeze

The official LEGO Batman Twitter Page hit 20,000 follower today and as a “reward”, they revealed another playable character for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Mr. Freeze. If he looks familiar, that is because he is the same minifigure as in LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Arctic Batman vs. Mr. Freeze: Aquaman on Ice (76000). Note that this variant of Mr. Freeze is different from the on in the Batman of the Future DLC although he will probably have the same abilities.

Every piece of art comes with a story and renowned LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya has told his story behind his many creations in his latest book, The Art of the Brick: A Life in LEGO by No Starch Press.

The book consists of 248 fully-colored pages and retails for $29.95.

The dust jacket shows an image of one of Nathan Sawaya’s most recognizable creations, “Yellow.” The inside of the jacket gives a short overview of what A Life in LEGO is about.

Nathan Sawaya is renowned for his incredible, sometimes surreal, sculptures and portraits—all made from LEGO bricks.

The Art of the Brick is a stunning, full-color showcase of the work that has made Sawaya the world’s most famous LEGO artist. Featuring hundreds of photos of his impressive art and behind-the-scenes details about how these creations came to be, The Art of the Brick is an inside look at how Sawaya transformed a toy into an art form.

Follow one man’s unique obsession and see the amazing places it has taken him.

The book is separated into a number of small chapters, more than 40 in total. These chapters focus on each of Nathan’s builds and he tells you what inspired the particular projects. For example, Nathan originally thought that Yellow represented death but after looking back, it is actually about opening yourself up to the world without being afraid of what it may bring.

Another story that I enjoyed in A Life in LEGO is the one about Dinosaur which was displayed at the Lancaster … Continue

The countdown for the release of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham continues today with the reveal of Platinum. She was designed by Dr. William Magnus, creator of the Metal Men, and is made with platinum liquid metal allowing her to have limitless shape shifting abilities.

With her in the game, it may suggest the rest of the Metal Men (Gold, Mercury, Iron, Tin, and Lead) could also be in the game as well.

Jurassic Park/Jurassic World Projects Now Allowed on LEGO Ideas

October 24, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Earlier this month, Universal announced that The LEGO Group will be one of the licensing partners for the upcoming Jurassic World movie. As a result, LEGO has resolved their licensing conflicts with Jurassic Park/Jurassic World. Earlier this year, LEGO Ideas did the same with Doctor Who which resulted in an abundance of Doctor Who projects including two that achieved 10,000 supporters.

If you remember from last year, all the Jurassic Park related projects were removed including the one from Senteosan after only 6,495 supporters. This was because Hasbro/Kre-O signed on to produce construction sets for Jurassic World but that contract has since expired and The LEGO Group now owns the rights to produce the sets.

As of a few days ago, people are now allowed again to post Jurassic Park/World projects on LEGO Ideas but whether or not they are able to pass the review stage and become an official set remains to be seen.

LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) Official Images

LEGO Creator 2014 Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107)

The official images of the 2014 LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) set are now available. We first saw an image of the box a few days ago when the set was accidentally sent to a Shop@Home customer. Now we get a clearer look at the Ice Skating scene as well as a different angle of it.

Again, it shows a frozen pond where a minifigure is playing hockey while the other is sledding down a snowy hill. The only thing that I’m disappointed with is that the hockey sticks aren’t the molded ones from the Hockey Player from the Series 4 Collectible Minifigures but instead, the sticks are brick-built.

The 2014 LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) set will be available for free during Brick Friday 2014 weekend from November 28 – December 1 with purchases of $99 or more. This set will be a little bit harder to obtain since you only have four days to get it while the Toy Workshop (40106) Holiday Set has been available during the whole month of October.
