Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In March 2015, Warner Bros. announced that a third Lego Movie spin-off, titled The Billion Brick Race was in development. Jason Segel and Drew Pearce were signed on to co-direct and write the film.[1][2][3] On August 2, 2017, it was announced that Jorge R. Gutierrez had signed on as director, with Pearce stepping down. At that time, the film was scheduled to be released on May 24, 2019.[4] But on February 8, 2018, it was announced that Gutierrez had left the project.[5] On July 16, 2018, the film's plot was announced by Pearce who confirmed it would be a LEGO racing movie inspired by pre-existing racing films including The Cannonball Run.[6] In December 2019, concept art of the film's main characters was revealed by the film's initial director Jorge R. Gutierrez, along with the confirmation that the project was cancelled. With the poor box office results of the previous two Lego films along with the film's lengthy conceptual phase being the primary reasons.[7][8] In April 2020, a deal with Universal was set for a limited 5 year film deal, with Warner Bros. still owning the previous films.[9]
