\"LegoMovie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With The Lego Movie<\/strong> directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord juggling a number of different projects, including that perplexing 21 Jump Street<\/strong>\/ Men In Black<\/strong> crossover film at Sony, Warners has been left to find someone who could take over directing duties on a sequel to last summer\u2019s hit movie. The studio has found that person in the form of Rob Schrab.<\/p>\n

Although this will be Scrab\u2019s first feature film, he comes with a resume of directing for a number of edgy and quirky television series including The Sarah Silverman Program<\/em>, Community<\/em>, Workaholics<\/em> and The Mindy Project<\/em>. In addition to his television directing work, Schrab co-wrote the 2006 animated feature Monster House<\/strong> with Community<\/em> creator Dan Harmon. Previously, the two created the cult-hit pilot Heat Vision And Jack<\/em>. Schrab and Harmon were members of the Wisconsin comedy improve troupe The Dead Alewives. Harmon also co-wrote on Scrab\u2019s indie comic, Scud, The Disposable Assassin<\/em>, which was optioned by Oliver Stone back in the mid-90s.<\/p>\n

Lord and Miller are still attached to write and produce the film, though I would not be surprised if Schrab participated in the scripting process. <\/p>\n

The sequel, now officially titled The Lego Movie Sequel<\/strong>, is set to be in theaters in 2018, after two other Lego-themed movies \u2013 A Ninjago film in 2016 and a film featuring The Lego Movie<\/strong>\u2019s version of Batman as voiced by Will Arnett.<\/p>\n

I have been a fan of Scrab\u2019s work going all the way back to his days on Scud<\/em>, one of the first indie comic book series that really stood out for me as having a unique point of view in a field that all-too-often was feeling as if it had nothing to offer but cookie-cutter options. A look at his resume certainly suggests that he has continued to ply that worldview through his television work to varying degrees, making him a rather good fit for the job of extending out the crazy and creative world that Miller and Lord have already laid out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
