It’s been nearly five years sinceThe LEGO Movieintroduced the world to the irresistible earworm “Everything Is Awesome”, and the sequelThe LEGO Movie 2: The Second Partaims to introduce another, even catchier song to audiences. The follow-up takes place five years after the events of the first movie as DUPLO invaders from outer space wreak havoc on Emmet, Lucy, Batman and the gang’s world. It’s up to them to save it, but no doubt plenty of twists and turns are in store thanks to the screenplay byPhil LordandChris Miller.
As the movie’s release date looms closer, Warner Bros. has released a new featurette for a new original song called, appropriately enough, “Catchy Song.” The song is also available for download and streaming, which reveals it featuresT-PainandThat Girl Lay Lay. you’re able to hear a snippet of it in the video below, along with footage of the film’s voice actors likeChris PrattandAlison Brielamenting the catchiness of the tune.
I’m really excited to see whatThe LEGO Movie 2has in store for audiences. The sequel went through a pretty lengthy and evolving development, with a couple of directors coming and going and a number of screenwriters taking a crack at the script. The finished screenplay is credited to Lord and Miller only, which tells me that theLEGO Moviewriters/directors were heavily involved in crafting the finished story that will be making its way to screens next month.
So get a preview of this new earworm in the video below, andclick hereto listen to the whole thing. Directed byMike Mitchell,The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Parthits theaters on February 8th.
