Warner Brothers has slated the summer release date for The Lego Movie sequel, which is pressing ahead with a new writing team.
From the dreariness of February to the heat of summer, The Lego Movie’s franchise prospects have exploded with staggering potential following its stunning weekend debut two weeks ago. Hence, Warner Brothers proudly moving the series’ next entry into the center of blockbuster competition.
WB has announced that The Lego Movie sequel will open on May 26, 2017 with few details, save that Jared Stern and Michelle Morgan will provide the screenplay.
This of course is not a surprise for anyone who has seen the movie, as the picture is getting near universal acclaim, including from our own glowing review. Having already earned $200 million worldwide, a follow-up seems inevitable. Albeit, we truly hope Phil Lord and Christopher Miller return in some capacity (preferably as screenwriters and directors again) to give the material that unexpectedly special touch it received in its 2014 debut.
Of course the return of vocal talents like Chris Pratt, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Alison Brie, Liam Neeson, and Will Ferrell would also be nicely welcomed too.
