Lego movie gets a pair of directors

After years of classic movie scenes being recreated with Legos (The “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” number below immediately springs to mind), Lego itself will get its chance on the silver screen.

Reuters reports that the Warner Bros. project has found a pair of directors in Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who directed last year’s animation hit “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Lord and Miller convinced Warner and Lego to get on board with a presentation that incorporates animation and live action in the same film. The Lego movie is set to enter production after Lord and Miller finish up with their current project, an adaptation of TV show “21 Jump Street.”
