“A LEGO movie? Really?” Yes, really. Why? Because children spend an estimated five billion hours a year playing with those colorful plastic bricks.

In fact, seven LEGO sets are sold by retailers every second around the world and more than 560 billion LEGO pieces have been produced since the company began manufacturing the interlocking toy bricks in 1949.

Artists have used LEGO bricks to create artwork for decades, so why not give filmmakers and visual effects artists the chance to play with the popular building blocks and create their own stories?

Written and directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (21 Jump Street, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), The LEGO Movie stars Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) as Emmet, an ordinary mini-figure who is mistaken for the Special – a Master Builder destined to save the LEGO universe.

With the help of a wizard named Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman), a punk rock builder named Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), Batman (Will Arnett), and a robo-pirate named Metalbeard (Nick Offerman), Emmet throws the instructions away and discovers the power of imagination to defeat the evil tyrant Lord Business (Will Ferrell), who is heck-bent on destroying the LEGO universe on “Taco Tuesday” and rebuilding it as he sees fit.

Some say it’s the most popular sitcom from the 2000s. Others deem it has a cult following. Either way, Arrested Development has become a phenomenon among its fans – a show that, while created by Mitchell Hurwitz, is driven mainly by Ron Howard. Taking the conception of filming a sitcom using the style of reality television, and littering the show with pop culture references (as well as its own memes that it develops over time), Arrested Development is an amusing viewing experience, though overrated.

The series takes on the concept of "riches to rags", of a wealthy family that fall on bad times when their father George Bluth (the CEO, played by Jeffrey Tambor) is arrested by the SEC. Taking a massive hit to the company, son Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) takes on the responsibility of bringing the business back to profitability while trying to keep his family together.

The first trailer for The LEGO Movie has found its way online, and it…doesn’t look bad. Not bad at all, actually. In fact it actually looks pretty gosh darn awesome.

This really should come as no surprise as the movie is directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the duo who directed the fantastic animated flick Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street, but it still is. Because let’s face it, who thought a LEGO movie could work? Of course when you gather a voice cast that includes Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman, anything is possible.

We just saw our first glimpses of Megan Fox as April O’Neil in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, but they showed very little. The uninformed would have just assumed they were images of Fox doing a little exercise…with a Channel 6 microphone. Why not.

But now some new images of Fox as O’Neil have been released, and they may make you just a tad bit happier. This time around Fox is wearing something yellow, though it’s not the full yellow jumpsuit we imagine when thinking of Miss O’Neil (you know you have). Still, let’s keep in mind that the previous April O’Neil actresses, Judith Hoag and Paige Turco, wore very little yellow as well, so the full-on O’Neil jumpsuit is no requirement.

While I’m skeptical of the movie—and very unsure of Fox being cast; we all know some of the other actresses mentioned for the role were much more appealing—these images are a lot closer to what I’d have pictured for O’Neil. Fox is wearing yellow, but it’s a more modernized, in style yellow. Oh, right, there’s also a possible first look at the movie’s logo, and Will Arnett is there too!

Release Date: December 27, 2011

Todd Margaret (David Cross) is not a smart man, and his desire to succeed and impress those around him constantly gets the better of him. A compulsive liar who is completely unable to admit his mistakes, he ends up way over his head when a sudden job promotion lands in his lap by accident.

When his new, extremely aggressive boss Brett (Will Arnett) promotes the incompetent Margaret to head of UK sales for a North Korean energy drink called Thunder Muscle. The problem, well, the first problem, is Margaret knows nothing about sales or the United Kingdom, but that doesn’t stop him from taking the job and heading across the pond.
