LEGO a go go! Create a vehicle for the new film!

This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Keeping children entertained all holidays long is a bit of a task isn’t it?! Without our usual routine of school/playgroups and other term time activities I often find myself spending lots more money on finding ways to keep them entertained, especially in the colder months and end up with none of my household chores done either! It’s not as easy as summer when you can throw them into the garden and keep an eye while you get on with your jobs; the weather right now for instance is foulsome so indoor activites or spending lots of money are often the only answer! I have however been given a tip off for an afternoon of creative fun which you can oversee from the ironing board, it will cost no money (as long as you have a LEGO collection and let’s face it, most children do) and it will create no mess! There is a competitive edge to it too as the creations the little ones make for it will be entered into an almighty competition and what’s more, if they win, they could see their LEGO creation brought to life on the big screen! Sounds like a bit of fun don’t you think!

So what is this half term activity idea LEGO has come up with? Well, a new movie is coming out in 2014 and Warner Brothers and LEGO are giving one child aged between 5 and 13 years old the chance to create a vehicle entirely from LEGO which will star in the film! You can help of course, this is something the whole family can get involved with! All you and your kids have to do is build a great vehicle – it can be anything from a train to a plane, to a car or space ship, boat…whatever takes your fancy – and then take a photo and upload it to the websiteSo go get those creative juices flowing!

Entries need to be in by 31st December 2012 and then, a winner will be picked. Enjoy – hope this provides some fun entertainment for you over half term and beyond!

Don’t forget the winning wntry will be used for the upcoming film which is super exciting!

Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Chris Pratt and Morgan Freeman will lend their vocal talents to the LEGO® world, starring as characters in the upcoming original 3D animated LEGO feature, currently in production, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures. 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.

 

The film will be produced by Dan Lin (“Sherlock Holmes,” “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”) and Roy Lee (“The Departed,” “How to Train Your Dragon”).  It will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.
