Like the song goes, Everything is awesome! Good news for fans of Rob Schrab, director of the vastly under rated comedy "Community". Rob also has a long list of writing credentials, he was recently tapped to direct the upcoming sequel to The Lego Movie. Aptly titled The Lego Movie 2, this was fast tracked for a tentative late 2017 release. Rob might be best known to some of us nerdy types as the creator of the underground comic SCUD : The Disposable Assassin.
Writers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord will return to pen the sequel and, had this to say of Schrab's hiring.
“We are so excited to collaborate with Rob. He is a comedy genius, a visual savant, and we have been stalking him for years. No one works harder than Rob, and his aesthetic, combined with his sense of humor, bring a strong, unique, thoughtful, and passionately nerdy voice to this project. People who know him are slapping their foreheads today and saying, ‘Of course!’”
