The
film, the first-ever full length theatrical LEGO movie, follows Emmet, an
ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly
identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He
is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil
tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Chris
Pratt (“Moneyball”) stars as Emmet. Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman
(“Million Dollar Baby”) and Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games,” Emmy nominee
for “30 Rock”), will star as two of Emmet’s fellow travelers: Vitruvius, an old
mystic; and tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world
and guides him on his quest. She also calls upon the mysterious Batman, a LEGO®
minifigure voiced by Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, “30 Rock”), with whom she
shares a history.
The
3D computer animated adventure will open nationwide on February 28, 2014.
Phil
Lord & Christopher Miller (“21 Jump Street,” Golden Globe nominee “Cloudy
with a Chance of Meatballs”) are directing from their original screenplay,
story by Dan Hageman & Kevin Hageman and Phil Lord & Christopher
Miller, based on LEGO construction toys. The film will incorporate some of the
most popular LEGO figures while introducing several new characters, inviting
fans who have enjoyed the brand’s innovative toys and hugely popular video
games for generations to experience their visually unique LEGO world as never
seen before.
