Pharrell Williams to Release a LEGO Movie Based on His Life

Grammy Award-winning musician, producer, and fashion designer Pharrell Williams is ready to jump on a unique filmmaking journey with his latest project, “Piece By Piece.” This film, produced in collaboration with Universal Pictures, will tell the story of Williams’s life using LEGO brick animations.

“Piece By Piece” traces its origins back to 2020 when Universal Pictures acquired the rights to LEGO from Warner Bros. This new venture diverges from the conventional narrative of previously released LEGO movies, promising a fresh take on storytelling.

Unlike previous LEGO films that relied on computer VFX for animation, “Piece By Piece” will incorporate stop-motion mechanics. The movie will feature Williams’s journey from humble beginnings to international fame, interwoven with an interview-style documentary.

The project is led by director Morgan Neville, known for his Oscar-winning work on “20 Feet from Stardom” and “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.” The film also boasts a talented ensemble of producers, including Caitrin Rogers from Tremolo Productions and executives from the LEGO Group.

As anticipation for “Piece By Piece” builds, Pharrell remains confident that the film will inspire others to embrace creativity and pursue their passions. The announcement has garnered support from fans and celebrities alike, with many expressing excitements for the upcoming movie on social media.

Pharrell Williams’s “Piece by Piece” marks a bold entry into the world of film, blending LEGO animations with a biographical narrative. Set to release in theaters on October 11, 2024, the film is poised to captivate audiences with its innovative storytelling and inspiring message.
