Pharrell Williams is using Legos to tell his own story, with an eye toward inspiring others to their creative heights with animated biopic “Piece by Piece” via the Lego Group and Focus Features.
The “Happy” singer and producer has teamed with Oscar-winning “20 Feet From Stardom” documentarian Morgan Neville for the unconventional project due in theaters Oct. 11..
Williams, whose career spans hip-hop and R&B, films and fashion, was “uninterested in making a traditional film about his life,” Focus Features said in a statement. So the 13-time Grammy winner aimed to tell his story “in a way that would set audience’s imaginations free.”
