Pharrell Williams said “Piece by Piece” director Morgan Neville was like a life coach for him during the making of his upcoming Lego-animated biopic, saying the filmmaker’s personality and work style was similar to PBS icon Fred “Mister Rogers” Rogers.
“This process was incredibly therapeutic,” Pharrell told TheWrap’s Steve Pond at TheWrap’s 2024 TIFF Studio sponsored by Moët & Chandon and Boss Design. “I think Morgan asked the right questions, not only of me, but people who have experiences with me. And for him to sort of look across all of the information, and my life as the subject, I think he did a really, really good job.
