Will Ferrell and Liam Neeson join the cast of the LEGO movie

LEGO has a big budget CGI animated movie coming out in 2014, simply called ‘LEGO’ and it’s racking up quite a celebrity voice cast. Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie have joined the voice cast of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s big screen film adaptation of LEGO. They join the previously cast Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman.

According to Deadline “Ferrell will play Emmet’s primary adversary, President Business; Neeson is the president’s powerful henchman, Bad Cop; Offerman is a craggy, swaggering pirate obsessed with revenge on President Business; and Brie is a member of Emmet’s team with a powerful secret.”

Here’s the official synopsis:

The film, the first-ever full length theatrical LEGO movie, follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as Emmet. Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (The Dark Knight Rises) and Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games), will star as two of Emmet’s fellow travelers: Vitruvius, an old mystic; and tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest. She also calls upon the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure voiced by Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, “30 Rock”), with whom she shares a history.
