Warner Bros. Planning On Bringing LEGO's NINJAGO To The Big Screen
With The LEGO Movie on its way, Warner Bros. are clearly feeling confident that they can make the brand work on the big screen as they are now moving ahead with a movie based on the popular Ninjago toyline. Hit the jump for further details!
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Warner Bros. have chosen Dan and Kevin Hageman to pen the screenplay for a Ninjago movie. The duo have been given a "Story by" credit on The Lego Movie and worked on the Cartoon Network animated series, Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. Their credits also include Hotel Transylvania and its planned sequel. The Ninjago film will apparently take a different direction to the TV series, presumably meaning that it's not a spin-off or follow-up to the small screen version in any way. The hunt is now on for a director, although there's currently no word on who that might be. How do you guys feel about there being more LEGO movies? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts on this news in the usual place!
