Warner Bros. working on a Lego movie?

Warner Bros. is planning to develop a movie about the Lego. That’s right the popular children’s building blocks.

Dan and Kevin Hageman have signed on to pen the script for what will be described as a family comedy that will mix live action and animation. Warner is keeping the plot tightly under wraps, describing it only as an action adventure movie set in a Lego world.

Dan Lin, producer of upcoming' "Sherlock Holmes" and "Shorts," will produce the movie through his Lin Pictures. Roy Lee will produce through his Vertigo banner.

Jill Wilfert, VP of licensing and entertainment at Lego, has put caution to the wind by oversee this film for the toymaker.

The film's been in development for more than a year, with the scribes and producers making several trips to Denmark to work with Lego's execs on the concept.

Lin told Daily Variety he wanted, "a fun factor, creativity and that imagination has no boundaries,”

As strange as this all might sound it might interest you to know that directors and producers in town have been attempting to make a Lego movie for years, but Lego turned down most of their ideas because it's highly protective of its brand.

Lego has made a series of direct-to-DVD animated movies based on its Bionicle line.
