Phil Lord and Christopher Miller won’t be returning to direct The LEGO Movie sequel, they will however be writing the film’s screenplay and producing alongside Dan Lin and Roy Lee. Chris McKay who was originally set to direct it, will be moving on to direct The LEGO Batman Spinoff, which will also be produced by Lord and Miller.

Now a new report says that Rob Schrab, director of episodes of TV series such as Community and Children’s Hospital will now helm The LEGO Movie sequel. Hit the jump for more.

When the Oscar nominations were announced on Thursday, one of the most obvious snubs was for The LEGO Movie, which was left out of the running for Best Animated Feature. Internet outrage (justifiably) ensued. The film’s co-director Phil Lord took to Twitter to try and calm the masses, and even posted an image of a LEGO version of the Oscar statue to show everyone that he had made his own.

But, are the people behind The LEGO Movie really going to be such good sports? Conan O’Brien doesn’t think so, as the late night talk show host posted a video of the “response” from the producers of The LEGO Movie regarding the Academy’s failure to nominate the film. They seem pretty pissed. Watch the hilarious video here below.

Hey there freaks and geeks, BAADASSSSS! is here with a list of the best films I saw in 2014. Instead of doing the traditional top ten list as originally planned, I decided to take a cue from the great Nigel Tufnel and crank this sucker up to 11 (yes, I am aware that some people are doing top 20 lists, top 50 lists, top 100 lists, etc., but I didn’t see enough of last year’s releases to make a list quite that long). So you will find on this list my ten favorite films that were released last year, one that wasn’t, and my three choices for the worst of the year. And the hell with round numbers.

One of the snubs of the 2015 Oscar nominations, is that The LEGO Movie wasn’t nominated for Best Animated Feature.

Phil Lord, who directed the movie along with partner Chris Miller, was prepared for such a snub with the perfect response. You can see what he had to say below.

I was initially apprehensive about creating a “best of” movie list for 2014, because upon review, it was easier to make a list of all the critically acclaimed movies I didn’t get a chance to see than did. In fact, here’s that list now: Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Only Lovers Left Alive, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Whiplash, Selma, Ida, Goodbye to Language, The Babadook, and Inherent Vice.

So with the caveat that the best films of the year (and possibly your favorites) may still yet to be seen by me, here is a list of the best films I did see this past year.
