Pharrell Williams has gathered an impressive lineup of celebrities, including Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg, to voice LEGO versions of themselves in his biopic “Piece by Piece”. Initially hesitant to share his story, Williams was convinced by his agent that he could tell it in his own way. He enlisted the help of Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, known for his documentary work, to bring his story to life in the LEGO world. Williams wanted his kids to understand his journey, as he himself grew up playing with LEGO sets. Neville found that using LEGO as a storytelling device allowed for a more intimate and creative exploration of Williams’ life. The film is set to hit theaters on October 11.
