The LEGO Movie sequel is set to take place in a "weird, dystopian version of Bricksburg." Yikes!
NewsIt's still a puzzle as to why Chris Miller and Phil Lord's excellent The LEGO Movie was overlooked in the Best Animated Feature category at this year's Academy Awards. Although as we argued in this piece, it's won a greater prize than an Oscar already.
Lots of people clearly continue to enjoy the film enormously. A screening of the film took place at the Santa Barbara Film Festival earlier this week, and the co-writers and directors took to the stage for a Q&A. And when asked by one of the many children in the audience as to what's going to happen in The LEGO Movie 2, they did reveal a couple of details.
The pair confirmed that the sequel will be set a few years after the ending of the original The LEGO Movie (as had been revealed last month), and that the focus is going to be on Emmett and his sister. Furthermore, it's going to take place in a "weird, dystopian version of Bricksburg."
Currently, The LEGO Movie 2 is scheduled for 2018. Before that, of course, we're getting the LEGO Batman movie. Bet they won't give that a bloody Oscar, either.
