Pharrell Williams Showcases New ‘Over the Moon’ Lego Set at Paris Event, Talks ‘Piece by Piece’ Biopic: Telling ‘My Story This Way Made It More Universal’


Pharrell Williams discussed his new Lego set and animated biopic 'Piece by Piece' at a special event held in Paris on Wednesday night.

Alongside the film, which is directed by Morgan Neville and recently screened at Telluride and Toronto to reviews praising its originality, Williams has teamed with Lego on a new toy set, which features a black-and-gold rocket ship with a vibrant jet stream of colors. The new set, titled “Over the Moon,” was on display at the cosmic-themed event, held at Espace Niemeyer, the iconic Oscar Niemeyer-designed former headquarters of the French Communist Party. “Over the Moon,” which launches later this month and will also be showcased next week at an event in LA, was derived from “Piece by Piece.” The film features scenes in which the animated Lego incarnation of Williams goes into space, and early source of inspiration he discussed on stage in Paris.
