Focus Features has released a trailer for the upcoming film Piece by pieceTHE Pharrell Williams LEGO biopic. This is definitely a very different way to make a biopic and it looks like a lot of fun!
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 your imagination and witness the evolution of one of music’s most innovative minds.”
Williams is a music mogul and as a producer of the film he enlisted the help of Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland AND Envelope rhymes play roles.
The film was directed by Morgan Neville, and contacted the production company and they were intrigued by the idea. Working together with Pharrell, “they captured his vision for the project and it was full steam ahead.
Williams previously said of his involvement in the project: “When I had this crazy vision of telling this story through Lego bricks, I couldn’t have imagined a better partner than Morgan.
“He’s a legend. I’m grateful that Focus wanted to partner with us and I’m honored to share it with the world and bring people into my universe. Building with Lego bricks encourages us to follow our imagination.
“Who would have thought that playing with these toys as a child would become a movie about my life? It’s proof that anyone else can do it too.”
Jill Wilfert, SVP Entertainment Partners and Content, at the Lego Group also mentioned in this 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, take apart and rebuild in as many ways as they can imagine, mirroring the way Pharrell has continually innovated in his own life.
“Having the opportunity to collaborate with him; with an incredible narrator like Morgan Neville; and the wonderful team at Focus Features were truly inspiring.
“The combined creativity of Pharrell and the Lego brick is truly something special to see come together.”
The film will be released in theaters on October 11th.
