Pharrell Williams' Lego biopic 'Piece by Piece' closes London Film Festival
The 68th BFI London Film Festival (9-20 October) closes with the UK premiere of Piece by Piece, the animated Lego biopic based on the life and career of musician and designer Pharrell Williams.
Williams and director Morgan Neville are expected to attend the gala performance.
Described as "wildly inventive," Piece by Piece is a unique biopic that explores the life and work of Pharrell Williams in animated Lego form, a suggestion Williams made during early conversations with Neville. Neville has said that the choice of Lego serves as a metaphor for Williams' creative vision of the world. The film features an all-star cast rendered in Lego alongside Williams, including Jay-Z, Missy Elliot, Gwen Stefani, Busta Rhymes and Snoop Dogg.
