American artist and fashion star Pharrell Williams will reportedly tell his story in a Lego animated biopic.
Pharrell Williams has never been one to go the same route as everyone else. That’s why he’s so iconic. The star plans to tell his story in a Lego animated biopic.
On Friday, 26 January, the star announced that he will be teaming up with The Lego Group, Morgan Neville, and Focus Features to create the biopic tagged “Piece by Piece.”
A press release about the biopic shared to Variety reads,
“Uninterested in making a traditional film about his life, Pharrell set out to tell his story in a way that would set audience’s imaginations free. Developed from his singular vision, ‘Piece by Piece’ defies genres and expectations to transport audiences into a Lego world where anything is possible.”
“Pharrell Williams is a true trailblazer whose influence across music, art, and fashion continually reshapes global culture with an undeniable sense of joy,” Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said about the biopic.
“In partnering with the inimitable Morgan Neville and the limitless creativity of the Lego brand, his visionary spirit comes to life in a wholly unique and uplifting way that will inspire everyone to dance, to sing, and to use their voice to build the world they want to see, brick by brick, and piece by piece.”
Neville said Pharrell approached him about it 5 years ago. “I’m grateful to our partners at Focus Features and at the Lego Group for their belief in our crazy mission. We assembled an incredible team of creative collaborators to help make a new type of film. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
