Pharrell Williams has set an upcoming LEGO movie inspired by his life.

Piece By Piece hails from Focus Features and is directed by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville and produced by Neville and Caitrin Rogers via Tremolo Productions. Williams, Mimi Valdés and Shani Saxon also produce via i am OTHER with the LEGO Group’s Jill Wilfert and Keith Malone executive producing.

The film is a biopic of sorts, but one that attacks the medium in a different and unique way; through LEGOs. As Focus Features describes, “Pharrell set out to tell his story in a way that would set audience’s imaginations free. Developed from his singular vision, PIECE BY PIECE defies genres and expectations to transport audiences into a LEGO world where anything is possible.”

Neville said in a statement how Williams approached him five years ago with the idea of telling his story through LEGO animation.

“It was one of those rare moments where I knew in a second that this was a journey I wanted to go on,” he said. “I’m so grateful to our partners at Focus Features and at the LEGO Group for their belief in our crazy mission. We assembled an incredible team of creative collaborators to help make a new type of film. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
