Lego tar steget över till vita duken - Kultur - E24.se
Leksaker fortsätter att locka de stora amerikanska filmbolagens intresse. Knappt har "GI Joe" haft premiär förrän Warner meddelar att man ska göra en dataanimerad actionfilm om lego, skriver Hollywood Reporter.
Filmen uppges likna Pixar-succén "Toy story" i upplägget med utgångspunkt i barns fantasi. Men filmen ska rikta sig till både barn och vuxna.
Producenten Dan Lin, som tigare varit involverad i filmer som "Terminator: salvation" och 10 000 BC", ligger bakom projektet och han har anlitat Dan och Kevin Hageman att skriva manus.
Det är första gången som den danska leksaksskapelsen blir långfilm.

The success of G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and Transformers for Hasbro has woken Hollywood up to the potential of movies based on toy lines, with the likes of Monopoly, Battleship, Stretch Armstrong, Max Steel, Hot Wheels and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe all now set to get their own films.
Lego has already been used to great effect in a series of videogames, with the likes of Indiana Jones, Batman, Star Wars and soon Rock Band all immortalized in the iconic Danish building bricks.
