In The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Chris Pratt reprises his role as Emmet, even if in addition to playing a extra character: Rex Dangervest, who bears more than a passing similarity to the cool, confident and hilarious characters Pratt plays in the blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World franchises. In a conversation as soon as CinemaBlends own Eric Eisenberg, writers and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller spoke more or less turning Rex into the quintessential Chris Pratt character. receive a look:
Chris Pratt already has Lego minifigurines of his characters Owen Grady and Star-Lord, and as soon as his extra quality in The Lego Movie 2, Lord and Miller are helping the actor grow to his pop culture and Lego universe ubiquity. Rex Dangervest is the quintessential Chris Pratt quality for an actor who is one of the biggest be active stars a propos and has roles in some of Hollywoods biggest blockbuster franchises.
Its fascinating that Lord and Miller talk more or less Chris Pratts journey from Andy Dwyer, a affable chubby buffoon on Parks and Recreation, to his extra image as something of a masculine hero and sex fable thanks to his blockbuster roles. Phil Lord and Chris Miller comprehensibly found that dichotomy and that journey fascinating and worth exploring as soon as Rex Dangervest, who is the prototypical 2019 Chris Pratt character.
That establishment of Rex Dangervest and his interactions as soon as Emmet in the film fittingly receive on something of a meta quality as we are seeing the two phases of Chris Pratts career represented onscreen. Its a bit of a meta commentary, and as Chris Miller told Eric in the video above, that created the opportunity for humor:
Now hes the biggest sexiest be active movie star in the world and fittingly we thought it was in reality hilarious that hes yet in addition to a sweetheart at heart and the dialogue amid those two sides of him seemed in reality funny.
So the in advance Parks and Rec times Chris Pratt is Emmet and the gleaming extra action-oriented Chris Pratt is Rex Dangervest, and as Miller joked, this allows the actor to attain some self-reflection therapy in the recording booth.
You might think that the similar effect could be achieved by just having Emmet interact as soon as mini Lego figurines of Star-Lord and Owen Grady in the film, giving Chris Pratt three roles to play. After all, the Lego universe allows for the mixing of IPs and brands and worlds. This was a consideration initially, but ultimately they decided to create Rex Dangervest instead, as Chris Miller explained:
Yes there were in advance on, but we thought this quality as an amalgam of every this stuff was a funnier idea ultimately.
Chris Pratt has gained a determined image as soon as the kinds of characters he plays thanks to his roles in the huge Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World franchises. Peter Quill and Owen Grady are adventurous, funny, gorgeous and hugely likable, and they would have been a fun adjunct to The Lego Movie 2. But as Chris Miller told Eric, using Rex Dangervest instead is funnier.
Star-Lord and Owen Grady would have been hilarious because they are funny, whereas Rex Dangervest is hilarious as well, but in addition to has a deeper level of humor because he is something of a parody of those characters.
As he says more or less himself in the trailer, Rex Dangervest is a galaxy-defending archeologist, cowboy and raptor trainer. In that he is basically an inclusion of the galaxy-defending Star-Lord, raptor trainer Owen Grady and Chris Pratts cowboy from either The Magnificent Seven or his vanguard role in Cowboy Ninja Viking. The archeologist allocation is even referencing the oft-rumored casting of Chris Pratt as a extra Indiana Jones.
