Three live-action LEGO movies are in development at Universal Pictures, with one from Patty Jenkins and Geoff Johns who were behind Wonder Woman 1984.
The other two live-action LEGO movies are from Jake Kasdan, and Attack the Block‘s Joe Cornish. No plot details are known for either of the three films.
What are the details for the Patty Jenkins LEGO movie?
Deadline reports Patty Jenkins will be directing her LEGO movie from a script she wrote with Geoff Johns. Jenkins is also producing through her Wicious Pictures production company.
Recently saw it reported that Patty Jenkins is still supposed to do her Star Wars: Rogue Squadron movie at Disney and Lucasfilm. The report makes no mention if Jenkins’ LEGO movie impacts her Star Wars movie or vice versa.
Jenkins reteaming with Johns is interesting as Wonder Woman 1984 was a massive failure. There have been different reports and rumors of whom to blame. It’s known Zack Snyder was heavily involved with the first Wonder Woman, which was a big success. Reportedly, Snyder butted heads with Johns over the direction of the DCEU (I’m told Jenkins and Snyder are friends). We’ll let you decide who was right, but it’s safe to say whoever is really to blame for Wonder Woman 1984 was dead wrong. Rumors offer Snyder and his VFX and stunt team were removed from being involved with WW84. Rumors also offer the massive failure of WW84 is the reason Jenkins’ Star Wars movie hasn’t moved forward.
What are the details for the Jake Kasdan LEGO movie?
The details for a second live-action LEGO movies include Jake Kasdan is directing from a script by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul (The D Train, The Grinder) based on an original idea and previous draft by Matt Mider and Kevin Burrows (The Pickup, Animal Friends). Kasdan is also producing.
Jake Kasdan has the Santa-heist movie, Red One, coming up on Nov. 15 which stars Dwayne Johnson, and Kasdan is also returning for a third Jumanji movie which gets released on December 11, 2026.
What are the details for the Joe Cornish LEGO movie?
The details for the third live-action LEGO movie is that Joe Cornish will direct from a script he is rewriting from a draft by Heather Anne Campbell (Rick & Morty, One Punch Man), which was off a treatment by Simon Rich (Man Seeking Woman, Miracle Workers).
The animated LEGO movies have been a big success with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s The Lego Movie in 2014, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Lego Batman and the Lego Ninjago Movie bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office. A live-action Ninjago movie is also in the works.
