'Meatballs' directors to play with 'Lego' onscreen?

It looks like Warner Bros. is moving forward with its planned "Lego" movie, and it looks like Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are jumping on board to write and direct the mix of live-action and CGI. 

Last year, Variety reported Dan and Kevin Hageman signed on to write the flick, but Warner must have changed its mind. Lord and Miller also penned and helmed "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."

A Lego movie has been in development for a while, but the toymaker wasn't really into Hollywood's plans for a big-screen adventure. Things have shifted though, and the Lego bosses are now actively involved.

First still from 'Chance of Meatballs' hits

The folks at CinemaBlend today received the first still from Chris Miller and Phil Lord's upcoming 3D animated film “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” which is based on Judi Barrett’s popular children’s book.

The story follows a group of characters living in a town where food falls from the sky just like rain. Anna Faris, Bill Hader, Mr. T, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Tracy Morgan and Bruce Campbell are part of the movie's voice cast.

The characters in the still above look a little goofy, but it's too bad we don't get to see any meatballs falling from the sky. However, it looks as if the houses in the background are covered in ice cream scoops. "Meatballs" will star falling in 2010.
