Pharrell Williams’ Lego Biopic ‘Piece by Piece’ to Close London Film Festival

As a lifelong fan of Pharrell Williams and his music, I couldn’t be more excited to witness the closing of this year’s BFI London Film Festival with the premiere of “Piece by Piece.” Having grown up listening to his groundbreaking work with N*E*R*D., The Neptunes, and as a solo artist, it feels surreal to see his life story brought to life in such an innovative way.


This year’s BFI London Film Festival is going from the Blitz to the, well, bricks.

Initially, it was announced that Steve McQueen’s World War II drama “Blitz” would kick off the 68th festival. Now, it’s been disclosed that Pharrell William’s animated Lego biopic, titled “Piece by Piece,” will bring the event to a close.

As a huge fan, here’s my take on paraphrasing your text:

Williams and Neville are confirmed to attend the gala screening in London.

“For more than two decades, the BFI London Film Festival has been a significant milestone in my professional journey, and it’s where I first showcased my work. This year, I am overjoyed to present ‘Piece by Piece’ as the closing night gala, an experience that adds an extraordinary layer to this tremendous honor. It’s a privilege to share this film with the discerning London audience and celebrate our collective creativity.” (First-person perspective)

Kristy Matheson, director of the London Film Festival, commented: “‘Piece by Piece’ is a film brimming with immense joy and creativity. Morgan Neville, an accomplished documentarian, masterfully tells the story of Pharrell Williams using Lego, capturing the wonder that mirrors his subject’s ingenuity and energy. This film is a must-watch for fans, and it will surely enchant those unfamiliar with it as well. We are overjoyed to have ‘Piece by Piece’ close this year’s BFI London Film Festival.”

On October 9th, “Blitz” is set to kick off the BFI London Film Festival, and on October 20th, “Piece by Piece” will bring the event to a conclusion.
