Pharrell Williams’ Life Story Coming to the Big Screen in Lego Movie
Hollywood has a penchant for biopics, and Pharrell Williams, the 51-year-old pop artist and producer known for hits like “Happy” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” is the latest star to get this treatment. The twist? His story will be told entirely in Lego format. The new film, Piece By Piece, just released its first trailer and is set to premiere on October 11.
Pharrell Williams’ Journey to Fame
Piece By Piece will chronicle Pharrell Williams’ journey from his early years to his rise in the music industry. Williams will lend his voice to his Lego counterpart, and the film will feature several notable musicians playing themselves, including Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, and Justin Timberlake. Interestingly, Robin Thicke is not listed in the cast, leaving it uncertain whether the film will address the controversial “Blurred Lines,” a song Williams has since disavowed.
A Fresh Take on Biopics
While traditional biopics often focus on dramatic life events, it’s intriguing to see how a Lego-themed film will handle Pharrell Williams’ story. This unique approach could bring a fresh perspective to the genre. Fans can also look forward to new music from Williams, with some of his popular tracks like “Happy” and “Get Lucky” featured in the trailer.
Check out the trailer below and mark your calendars for October 11 to witness Pharrell Williams’ life story in a truly original format.
