It's fair to say that directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were the ones responsible for making The LEGO Movie so special, so the fact that they won't be helming the sequel is disappointing to say the least. Instead, it will be first time feature director Rob Schrab (who has directing credits on TV shows like Community and The Mindy Project) who takes over the follow-up. Lord and Miller are still writing the script based on a story by them, Jared Stern and Michelle Morgan. They will also produce and had this to say in a statement released today. "We are so excited to collaborate with Rob. He is a comedy genius, a visual savant, and we have been stalking him for years. No one works harder than Rob, and his aesthetic, combined with his sense of humor, bring a strong, unique, thoughtful, and passionately nerdy voice to this project. People who know him are slapping their foreheads today and saying, ‘Of course!’" Schrab has a lot of accolades (including a WGA Award nomination), but do you think he's the right man for the job?
