The Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs team of Phil Lord and Chris Miller have re-written the script and brought in Robot Chicken‘s Chris McKay to direct. That, and the animation house behind the Happy Feet films, Animal Logic, has been hired to create the world comprised of Legos. Casting will begin in January for the film which will be roughly 80% animation and 20% live action. What a relief to the animators that they’re not going the stop-motion route. It can sometimes be a pain in the ass to separate those bricks, even with the help of a butter knife. (Empire)

In the 9-month construction time, Marshal Banana (best name ever?) was able to include remote controlled steering, a complex lighting system, and a scaled-down JarJar Binks that the vehicle can run over. And over and over. I made the last part up, but the first two features are real.

So it’s no surprise that Johnny Depp is the latest to get the LEGO treatment, specifically for his role as swishbuckling Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. (See image to the right.) Depp will most likely shit reconstructable bricks when he learns that it took more than 150,000 blocks and 200 man hours to complete builder Erik Varszegi’s tribute. It’s all part of the lead-up to Manhattan’s American International Toy Fair, where hopefully you can get that awesome little LEGO Wizard I used to love. His wand glowed-in-the-dark, a feat I’m sure Capt. Brick Sparrow cannot top.

_{Sí se puede…make an awesome Lego trailer.}

Outside of Hobo with a Shotgun, Machete might be the greatest trailer ever made. But even the best wasn’t good enough for filmmaker David Vann, who decided to improve upon perfection by doing a scene-for-scene remake of the trailer using Legos. Needless to say, it’s awesome. Even in Lego form, Danny Trejo is a terrifying man. (CinemaBlend)

Watch the Lego version of Machete after the jump.

Warner Bros. is putting together a writing/directing team for a film based on the popular children’s toy, Legos, Coming Soon is reporting. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the duo behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, have been tasked with bringing the building blocks to life.

Although few details have emerged, the film is being described as an "action adventure set in a LEGO world." While some might decry the idea as yet another example of Hollywood running out of original ideas, I, for one, welcome the Lego movie. It brings my childhood dream of seeing Connect Four on the big screen one step closer.

The new website RunPee.Com has arrived and it’s going to totally change theater-going as we know it. Imagine that you’re watching Transformers 2 and your teeth are floating. You don’t want to break away to the facility because you don’t want to miss any blurry, confusing-to-look-at robot fights or any of Megan Fox’s screentime. Those days are gone, friend. Thanks to RunPee, you now know the exact moment within a film that it is safe to excuse yourself and awkwardly step on all the toes in your row. We’re one step closer to utopia. The future begins.

On this Memorial Day, take a moment to remember those summer blockbusters that sucked balls. (Pajiba)
