In what might be the least obvious collection of words you’ll read today, The Lego Group has announced plans for three live-action Lego movies, to be released by Universal Pictures. Even stranger: the live-up of talent attached to these projects.

Nothing is known about what the movies will actually be — even if they are, officially, Lego movies or simply movies produced by the Lego Group, curiously enough; that company’s Jill Wilfert and Ryan Christians are overseeing all three — but we do know who is making each of the movies. One will be written by Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul, who created Fox’s short-lived sitcom The Grinder, and directed by Jake Kasdan, the man behind the reboot of the Jumanji franchise; a second will be written and directed by Joe Cornish, who gave the world Attack the Block — and to make matters even stranger, he’s officially rewriting a screenplay from Rick & Morty’s Heather Anne Campbell. But wait, that’s not the most surprising creative team attached, because the third movie will come from the Wonder Woman creative team of Geoff Johns and director Patty Jenkins.

If nothing else, you have to admit that you want to see whatever these movies are going to be based on those creative teams alone.

Again, it’s a complete mystery right now what these movies are going to be, so it’s possible they might be entirely un-Lego related aside from the company producing them. Lego has, of course, previously co-produced The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie, The Lego Ninjago Movie, and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, with Warner Bros; additionally, it’s worked on Piece by Piece, a Pharrell Williams biopic told entirely in Legos, which was released by Universal.

One more time: who knows what is happening here, but it’s amazing.
