Universal is getting into the Lego business
All of the Lego movies thus far have been release by Warner Bros. Universal's interest in a pactwith Lego exploring its options since early fall 2019, when its pact with Warner Bros. expired.
“The LEGO System in Play gives people the ability to build worlds and create stories that they carry throughout every phase of their lives,” said Universal chairman Donna Langley, who made today's announcement with Jill Wilfert, head of entertainment at Lego. “To partner with such an iconic brand that remains relevant and is constantly evolving allows for creativity in storytelling.
Added Wilfert: “Universal’s commitment to unique storytelling from diverse voices makes the Studio the perfect partner as the LEGO Group enters this new phase of filmmaking. Donna and the entire Universal team bring a sense of wonder and imagination we share, and we can’t wait to execute on our shared vision.”
Wilfert will serve as producer on all Lego projects developed and released by Universal, while Rideback’s Dan Lin, who produced all previous Lego features, and Jonathan Eirich will produce alongside Wilfert on the next Lego-inspired feature.
