[QUOTE=Dissolution;38419839]The lack of chemistry hurts[/QUOTE] Looks like they are just gonna start to throw in big names into movies that suck.

[QUOTE=Stockers678;38419547]WHY?[/QUOTE] With a cast like Will Ferrel, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, and Morgan Freeman, I've actually got high expectations. I wasn't even aware a lego movie was in the works, but Neeson and Freeman can basically choose to work with whatever project they want, and Arnett and Ferrel typically display pretty good judgment.
For a moment I thought they would do something live action and "EDGY" like the Michael Bay transformers movies.
Liam Neeson's one of those actors who's a really really good actor, but somehow constantly finds himself in some really bad movies.
I'm going to be optimistic about this one, just because of the cast and actually having a budget larger than probably anything Lego has ever been a part of.
looks like this movie is going to rebuild hollywood brick by brick
If it's a film aimed at children, it's probably got some humour involved. Liam Neeson's been aiming for stand-up for ages, so this is just part of that transition. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqA577_IoBk[/media]
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;38420544]Have you ever played Lego Racers? Some of these games were fucking fun.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;vLQ-xMv8JBI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLQ-xMv8JBI[/video] I recall my computer always freezing up when I played this.
I've got a good selection of the Lego games, except for the licensed based ones (apart form Star Wars: the Original Trilogy). Amazing fun. Lego racers 1+ 2 (and 2 on GBA) Lego Rock Raiders Lego Chess Lego Loco Lego Creator Lego Island Lego Stunt Rally Lego island 1, 2 and Extreme Stunts (Third one is poor can't believe it was sold for £25 at one point. It has about 4 mini games) Lego Bionicle Drome Racers Legoland Lego Creator: Knights Kingdom Lego Soccer Mania (Beats Football Manage, FIFA and Pro Evo hands-down!) WAIT! No Alpha Team? I hate myself!

Oh, I get it. Bottom of the barrel. Lego barrel. Full of lego bricks.
[QUOTE=SmashJonXD;38419598]he was in Episode one that was a movie for kids.[/QUOTE] The antagonist is named "President Business?" No left-wing bias there.
[QUOTE=The Vman;38423506]Liam Neeson's one of those actors who's a really really good actor, but somehow constantly finds himself in some really bad movies.[/QUOTE] I don't know why people think he's 'really really good'. Because he's in a bunch of shitty generic action films as a hard ass? Was it his one good performance in Schildler's List? He's overrated as hell
So it's an animated movie featuring voice acting from A-list actors? What's new?

Also there was this great turn based strategy game called spybotics here it is :D [url]http://pandagames.biz/Strategy/Spybotics.html[/url]
Huh, I'd have thought these actors would be more likely to be in a biopic about the creation and development of the toy itself rather than an animated film, but there you are.

According to Wikipedia, Will Arnet is voicing Lego Batman and Morgan Freeman is a wizard.

Save yourself some dollars and just watch all 4 parts of this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqZx4Yh1Kg[/media]
*Cough* The post production house I work for here in Australia is working on it. I can't say much... but for a LEGO film, it looks bloody amazing.

LEGO is a hobby, not a toy. And believe me when I say that. It's not marketing for LEGO. If that's your case then making a movie about Mickey Mouse is advertising Disney. Or the Avengers is all about MARVEL MARVEL MARVEL!

Batman isn't in the movie, and last time I checked the plot has nothing to do with any wizards.
[QUOTE=Zerohe;38420847]Fun Fact: Liam Neeson is the voice of the Lone Wanderer's father in Fallout 3.[/QUOTE] We know. He took up like 95% of the entire voice acting budget.
