It may be a video game (it turns out) but Lego Dimensions is shaping up not only as a good sequel to The Lego Movie, bringing back Chris Pratt, Allison Brie, and Elizabeth Banks among others, it’s also got a voice cast that would make the average movie casting director weep with happiness: Gary Oldman, Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Bryce Dallas Howard, Elizabeth Banks, Joel McHale, JK Simmons, Sean Austin, and Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd, reprising their Back to the Future roles.
But I’ve just started. Watch the trailer to find out who else is out there reprising their roles from the 80s and beyond…
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
