The trailer of the upcoming biopic of Pharrell Williams was dropped on Thursday, June 6. The trailer began with Williams shown in the middle of an interview where he could be seen talking to Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville. Williams was heard saying to Neville,

"You know what what would be cool is if we told my story with Lego pieces."

Variety reported on June 4, 2024, that according to Neville, the scene was an adaptation of a real conversation that happened between the documentarian and Williams, about five years ago. Neville added that both of them spoke on a Zoom chat, where they discussed how to execute the innovative project. Neville further told Variety,

"That’s how the conversation went down in my head. I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it was going to be interesting and I was completely in."

Neville then told the outlet that this film would be quite different than anything created as of now. He added:

"I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it was going to be interesting and I was completely in."

The scenes of the movie reportedly have psychedelic visuals, along with some music. In January, a press release was issued that described the film to be "an unparalleled motion picture experience that captures the magic and brilliance of Pharrell Williams’ creative genius, one Lego brick at a time."

Other artists who appear as Lego versions of themselves include the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Timbaland, and Busta Rhymes.
