The trailer for Pharrell Williams' upcoming biopic "Piece By Piece" has dropped like it's hot — and it doesn't look the way you might expect. The iconic producer will be voicing himself in animated LEGO form, accompanied by some A-list collaborators from his chart-topping career.
Gwen Stefani, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg are some of the guest stars from Williams' 30-year career that will feature in "Piece by Piece," with the trailer depicting a LEGO-ized version of Williams, Hugo and Snoop Dogg devising "Drop it Like it's Hot." The trailer also revealed the film would include new music from Williams.
Announced in January by Focus Features, the film was directed by Morgan Neville, who said in a statement that Williams had approached his five years ago with the idea for the biopic.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Louisiana law that would have required public schools statewide to display the Ten Commandments in their classrooms by Jan. 1. U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles of Baton Rouge, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, ruled Tuesday that the law violates the free exercise and establishment clauses of the First Amendment.
