Mike Mitchell (Trolls) steps into the director’s chair this time around with co-director Trisha Gum, but Phil Lord and Chris Miller are still involved as producers and co-writers of the follow-up.
Here’s the official synopsis for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part:
“The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” reunites the heroes of Bricksburg in an all new action-packed adventure to save their beloved city. It’s been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild. The battle to defeat them and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are.
The LEGO Movie co-director Chris McKay was originally set to direct, but he departed when Warner Bros. opted to make The LEGO Batman Movie first so he went to direct that. Then Community alum Rob Schrab signed on to take the helm, but left the project after a year over creative differences, at which point Mitchell came aboard. Lord and Miller also jumped into the film pretty heavily last year after they left Solo: A Star Wars Story, taking a stronger handle on crafting the script.
Chris Pratt and Elizabeth Banks star, along with Channing Tatum, Will Arnett, Jonah Hill, Tiffany Haddish, Stephanie Beatriz and Arturo Castro,
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part arrives on February 8, 2019.
