It’s time to roundup the news stories that caught my eye over the past week.

First look at new Lego film – As The Lego Batman Movie hit cinemas (check out my review here) Warner Animation Group released the first trailer for their next project, The Lego Ninjago Movie. This is based on another Lego property, but one that doesn’t have the name recognition of the Lego Batman toy line. The film follows 6 teenagers who are trained by an old master to be ninjas and take on the warlord Lord Garmadon. The film will star the vocal talents of Dave Franco, Michael Peña, Kumail Nanjiani, Jackie Chan, and Justin Theroux. What do you think of the trailer? Do you want to see The Lego Ninjago movie.

Kevin Smith teases new Jay and Silent Bob film – Director Kevin Smith, who created films such as Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, posted a picture on Instagram with an accompanying message stating his plans for a new addition to the Askewniverse, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Smith describes the new film as “a tongue-in-cheek, silly-ass satire that pokes fun at the movie business’s recent re-do obsession”. The last time we saw Jay and Silent Bob appear was in 2006’s Clerks II. Are you excited to see Kevin Smith return to the Askewniverse and these characters?
