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

1. Shawshank Redemption

Premise of the movie: Shawshank Redemption was a movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. It was a tale of a potentially innocent man, Andy Dufresne, sent to prison for two consecutive life sentences for the murder of his wife and her lover. Told from the point of view of a fellow in-mate Red, the audience is taken through the prison world and the peculiar interests in posters Andy has.

While the movie answers a few questions, it never once answers whether Andy actually did kill his wife or not. Sure, Andy says he didn’t, but what man would admit to it while in prison? The audience also never finds out exactly how Andy escaped, except through the tunnel he’d dug from his cell.

Why it needs the Lego treatment: This is one of the most iconic movies of the 1990s. Starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, it’s a movie full of twists, turns, and questions. It would make the perfect movie with a Lego feel.

The actual movie (and book) is set in the 1940s and 1950s. Lego would be able to bring the time period forward if it wanted, although that wouldn’t be necessary. There would be the chance to tell a modern day prison escape movie, with far more creative freedom.

Shawshank Redemption was a disappointing movie at the box office, despite performing extremely well since then. A Lego version would put things right in that aspect. Who wouldn’t see Morgan Freeman voice another Lego character?
