The Movie God   |  @   |  

LEGO Ninjago

The LEGO Movie was a smash success, scoring $460.7 million worldwide on a $60 million budget, so it should come as no great shock that Warner Brothers wants to turn it into the next huge franchise. A direct sequel to the movie is already in the works for a planned 2017 release, and now comes word of a September 23, 2016 release date for a spinoff titled Ninjago.

The movie will be based on the Ninjago line of ninja-inspired LEGOs, and will be directed by Charlie Bean, who previously directed Tron: Uprising for Disney XD and will be making his feature debut here. Bryan Shukoff and Kevin Chesley wrote the screenplay.

Of the announcement, WB domestic distribution president Dan Fellman said:

“Following the huge success of The Lego Movie, we are very excited to build on the Lego franchise. We know there are already Ninjago collectors who can’t wait to see their favorite characters on the big screen. This promises to be a terrifically fun and thrilling entry into our Fall 2016 slate, with broad audience appeal.”

LEGO Movie directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord will be producers on Ninjago along with Dan Lin and Roy Lee, while Jill Wilfert, Seth Grahame-Smith, John Powers Middleton, James Packer, and Steve Mnuchin will be executive producers.
