The LEGO Movie/Guardians of the Galaxy Mash-Up is Awesome!

February 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Everything is awesome in The LEGO Movie. The new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was also awesome. What happens if you combine the two? Infinitely times more awesome! This is what MTV has done. They have combined scenes from The LEGO Movie with the sounds of the GotG trailer and they fit perfectly. Chris Pratt, who voiced Emmet, is also one of the stars in the new Marvel movie.

The LEGO Movie is about to pass $200 million at the box office and Guardians of the Galaxy will hit theaters on August 1. Check out the mash-up video below and the official GotG trailer underneath that.

The LEGO Movie Experience Opens at LEGOLAND California Resort

February 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The new The LEGO Movie Experience is now open to the public at LEGOLAND California Resort. The Experience features a behind-the-scenes look at the real movie set seen in the film. You get to see the “basement” area that was shown in The LEGO Movie which shows the many different worlds of the movie including Bricksburg, The Old West, Cloud Cuckoo Land, the Octan Tower, and Middle Zealand just to name a few. The whole set took a team of 10 LEGO Master Builders 5 weeks to design the models and 2,000 hours to build the whole thing. Below are some other interesting facts about The LEGO Movie set:

1,200: Models on the set (two or more pieces stuck together)

3,863,484: Number of LEGO bricks used to create the set

15,080,330: Total LEGO pieces seen in the entire movie. If you were to build the entire film with LEGO, this is how many bricks you’d need.

116: Number of buildings made from LEGO.

165: Number of vehicles

15: Number of spaceships

1,423: Number of minifigures

The whole experience doesn’t stop there. There are also models displayed at the LEGOLAND Hotel as well. The model of the logo took about 4 Master Builders around 220 hours to complete. It is 8 feet long, 2.5 feet high, and 2.5 feet deep and weighs about 1,200 pounds. Check out the video below for a preview of The LEGO Movie set before you go and see the real thing. Jadon Sand, who plays Finn in the movie, will be there … Continue

Could LEGO Ninjago Movie Hit Theaters Before The LEGO Movie Sequel?

February 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Last year, we reported that a LEGO Ninjago movie by Warner Bros. will be heading to movie theaters. A few weeks ago, we also reported that the studio has already started working on a script for The LEGO Movie sequel. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the Warner Bros. will soon decide whether to do go ahead and do a sequel for The LEGO Movie as well as the Ninjago movie at the same time and if they do, they have to decide which one will come to theaters first. Dan Lin and Roy Lee, who helped produced The LEGO Movie, will join directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as the producers for Ninjago. Charlie Bean who directed Tron: Uprising on Disney XD will direct the Ninjago movie. Dan and Kevin Hageman, who wrote Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu for Cartoon Network, will also be involved in the new movie.

Warner Bros. has rights to only one sequel for The LEGO Movie so The LEGO Group could go to another studio if they wanted to. By adding another film from the LEGO Universe, this will help establish a stronger bond between the companies.

There are no details at this time of what the LEGO Ninjago movie will consist of but we can expect the same type of action/adventure style that the cartoon series has plus throw in the humor that the show provides. Although Ninjago is a theme focused mainly to younger males, Dan and Kevin note that 30% of Cartoon Network’s audience is female so there … Continue

The LEGO Movie: The Essential Guide Book Review

February 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I’ve received a new Dorling Kingsley LEGO book in the mail courtesy of Penguin Group, The LEGO Movie: The Essential Guide. Before the movie was released, the book gained recognition early by revealing some of the movie sets and minifigures that will be released in a few months. The Essential Guide retails for $12.99 and is written by Hannah Dolan. The book only consists on 64 pages but it is jam-packed with details about the movie.

The book starts off by introducing Bricksburg and some of its citizens. It then goes into detail of some of the main characters that you will see in the movie. Each of these characters gets two pages dedicated to them filled with random facts and tidbids. There are also pages that show some of the locations the characters will be visiting such as the Octan Tower, The Old West, and Cloud Cuckoo Land, just to name a few. The guide also mentions some of the other Master Builder of Bricksburg and their skills like the highly-popular popular Green Lantern and Johnny Thunder. Like I’ve mentioned before, the book also shows details of the three new Movie sets that will be released in the near future, Emmet’s Constructo-Mech (70814), Super Secret Police Dropship (70815), and Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! (70816). At the end of the book, it goes behind the scenes with Matthew Ashton, Vice President of Design for Playthemes and Intellectual Properties at The LEGO Group and it shows how the designers came up with the … Continue
