The new trailer for The LEGO Movie 2 is here, and it looks, well, awesome…
For a movie essentially about a bunch of animated bricks, the original LEGO Movie far surpassed everyone’s expectations – winning a Bafta for best animated film (even though it was snubbed by the Oscars) and infecting all our brains with its earworm-tastic theme song, ‘Everything Is Awesome’.
So successful was it that Chris Pratt’s Emmet and co are back for a LEGO-vs-DUPLO themed brick-off, and now we have a new look at the second part.
Five years after the events of the first movie, the citizens of Bricksburg are facing a new threat: DUPLO invaders from outer space that are out to wreck everything in their path.
The second outing sees Emmet reteaming with his pals to rescue girlfriend Lucy (Elizabeth Banks) from the clutches of a mysterious space baddie and his pre-school-friendly minions. Along the way, he enlists the help of space cowboy Rex Dangervest (a Star-Lord/Owen Grady spoof also voiced by Pratt) and his pet velociraptor.
Original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (don’t mention Solo: A Star Wars Story) are exec producing this time around, with Trolls helmer Mike Mitchell (don’t mention Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo) taking over directing duties.
The Lego Movie 2 is released on 8 February 2019.
