LEGO BATMAN MOVIE

MTV talked to writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the brains behind last year's "The LEGO Movie," and got a bit of information about LEGO Batman's upcoming animated solo adventure.

"No spoilers," said Lord. "But I will say I think the movie is really exciting because it's about 'Can Batman be happy?'"

They also revealed that animation has already begun on the LEGO spinoff film, and Batman voice actor Will Arnett is already impressed. "The first bit that I've seen was mind-boggling," he said.

ANT-MAN

Entertainment Weekly has an extensive feature story that traces "Ant-Man's" production process from the early Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish days through to the film's production under new director Peyton Reed.

When Wright vacated the director's chair, the actors had to reevaluate their involvement. Evangeline Lilly had yet to sign a contract, so she could have walked away from the role of Hope Van Dyne. "I got held off for months," said Lilly. "Marvel knew [that first revised screenplay] wasn't good. They just knew it was in the direction they wanted." Lilly remained with the project, and you can see her in the new photos included in the article.

Leading man Paul Rudd opened up to Entertainment Weekly about his feelings regarding Wright's sudden departure. "It all happened pretty quickly," said Rudd. "Edgar called me, and then it was just out in all the trades. It was a bit of a whirlwind, to say the least... But I was devastated, you know."

Following Wright's departure, Rudd took over screenwriting duties with his "Anchorman" collaborator Adam McKay. "It somewhat happened organically," said Rudd. "When Edgar left, they were talking about directors and I knew Adam [McKay] and Adam's brilliant. So he came in to meet with them. He and I had some ideas and so we spent some time rewriting it and wound up doing a rewrite on the whole thing. All of a sudden, this took on a whole new life and was much more intensive that I had maybe anticipated. I've actually found myself in these kinds of situations before -- maybe not quite on this level, but not far off -- where all of a sudden you're writing scenes and taking on writing responsibilities. And that's okay. But it's a little strange writing something that's really, truly out of my comfort zone. I wouldn't know how to begin to write [something like this], but sometimes you just hit the ground running, I guess. Thankfully Adam was there."

HeyUGuys has posted a few new bits of concept art from the film, which includes shots of Ant-Man and Yellowjacket.
