It looks like the partnership between The LEGO Group and Warner Bros. has pretty much ended as it has been reported that Universal Pictures was in talks to develop new film properties. As a result of this revelation, a spin-off LEGO WB movie called The Billion Brick Race that was in the works has also been nixed and The Book of Life director Jorge R. Gutierrez has released some concept art of some of the character designs for the movie. He describes the movie as “a racing film about race, privilege and gentrification with references to all my favorite 80s and 90s cop and action movies.” Too bad that this movie took so long to conceptualize as Warner Bros. focused more on other LEGO movies like The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
