As we gear up for this creative endeavor, one can only imagine the whimsical possibilities that await us. Will there be dramatic reenactments of epic LEGO battles? Heartwarming moments that bring a tear to your eye as characters discover the magic of building?
Or perhaps a comedic twist where someone hilariously tries to assemble a complicated set without reading the instructions (we’ve all been there)?
Lego vp, Alero Akuya spoke with 'The Hollywood Reporter' at the event, explaining why the company collaborated with Williams on the project.
“He just has so many different dimensions of culture, which he taps in to express his ideas, his experiences, his identity, and we felt like that was a really great conduit to kind of help inspire kids and families as well,” she said.
The exec continued, “Pharrell specifically said that Lego bricks are a great universal tool in which anyone can understand a story because you have many figures which represent people, and of course brick by brick and the system itself, which can be built into anything,” adding, “Using it as a medium to tell his story for him felt like a no-brainer, but it’s something that can resonate with all ages.”
