Will Arnett will voice the role of Lego Batman, while Channing Tatum is being sought to voice Superman in the project which will combine live-action and Lego-based animation.
Chris Pratt (“Parks and Recreation”) is set to voice the pic’s lead character, an ordinary and law-abiding Lego mini-figure who is mistaken for the most extraordinary MasterBuilder.
He’s drafted into a fellowship of strangers on a quest to stop an evil tyrant from gluing the universe together. Chris McKay (“Robot Chicken”) will serve as co-director, Dan Lin and Roy Lee are producing, Dan and Kevin Hageman penned the script, and Animal Logic will handle the film’s animation.
A February 28th 2014 release is being targeted.
