Pharrell Williams recently released a trailer for his Lego animated biopic Piece By Piece.
“You know what what would be cool is if we told my story with Lego pieces,” Lego Pharrell says in the trailer to the similarly-bricked director Morgan Neville, who chuckles politely and asks, “Seriously?” Pharrell replies, “Just be open.”
The trailer also features Lego depictions of Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Timbaland and Busta Rhymes.
“When I had this crazy vision to tell this story through LEGO bricks, I couldn’t have imagined a better partner than [director] Morgan. He is a legend,” Williams said in a statement earlier this year, adding that he felt “honored to share this with the world and bring people into my universe.”
“Building with LEGO bricks encourages us to follow our imagination . who would’ve thought that playing with these toys as a kid would evolve into a movie about my life,” he said. “It’s proof that anyone else can do it too.”
Piece By Piece arrives in theaters on October 11. A press release in January described the film as “an unparalleled motion picture experience that captures the magic and brilliance of Pharrell Williams’ creative genius, one Lego brick at a time.”
“Told through the lens of LEGO animation, turn up the volume on your imagination and witness the evolution of one of music’s most innovative minds,” adds a synopsis.
