30 movies that need the Lego treatment so bad it’s wrong

15. Trainspotting

Premise of the movie: The most famous and watched movie in Scotland, Trainspotting follows the tale of Renton, a heroin addict who is attempting to clean himself up. Set in Edinburgh, the drug-immersed movie shows the highs and lows of drug addiction and the path to sobriety. It touches on the effects and risks of drugs, and just how hard it can be for a former addict to remain clean.

Why it needs the Lego treatment: A Lego version of Trainspotting could be very dark if it follows the actual storyline. A lighter storyline could be created. The Lego version is needed for the many actors who show up in the original version.

Rather than drugs, the Lego treatment could show the hoarding of Lego bricks or even a sticker addition. There could be an addiction to building and creating new things. Then there’s the ability to have fun with the actors in the movie. The movie features the likes of Ewan McGregor, Kevin McKidd, and Robert Carlyle.

There’s the chance to see Renton (McGregor) dressing up as a Jedi in an attempt to overcome his hoarding habit. McKidd’s character could be rushed to the hospital where a hot intern performs surgery. One voiced by Carlyle could include moments of being high and seeing Rumplestiltskin or him doing the full Monty. The opportunities are endless.
