LEGO film to be made in Australia by Animal Logic
TRANSFORMERS transformed the Hasbro toy line into a blockbuster cinema
franchise, now LEGO is hoping to do something similar with their iconic building
blocks - and the film is to be made in Sydney.
The Fox Studios-based digital effects company Animal Logic (Happy Feet, Legend
of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole) is producing the LEGO family comedy for
Warner Bros.
Announcing the project today, acting NSW Premier and Minister for Trade and
Investment Andrew Stoner said the state government had helped secure the LEGO
film against strong competition from the US and Canada.
“LEGO will be an innovative film incorporating the latest animation and
photo-real techniques which will demonstrate the strength of NSW creative
technology skills and enhance the international reputation of Sydney as a film
location,‘’ he said.
It is estimated that the production will contribute $48 million to the local
economy and employ more than 200 people at its peak.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the team behind the 3D animated comedy Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs (2009), will direct the film.
