Universal in negotiations to acquire the rights
The studio is in negotiations to acquire the rights to Lego’s “Hero Factory” line of toys for Film 360 and the Mark Gordon Company to produce.
Michael Finch and Alex Litvak, who co-wrote “Predators” for Fox, would write the script. Ben Forkner and Dean Schnider would produce for Film 360 while Mark Gordon and Bryan Suriff would produce for the Mark Gordon Company.
Warner Bros. has had a Lego-based CGI animated feature, which has been in development since 2008 and back in April it announced the movie would open in February of 2014.
The Universal project will be a live-action adaption.
