A 14-year-old fan re-created the "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" trailer in the style of the "Lego" movies and ended up getting hired as an animator on the film.
Preston Mutanga caught the eye of producers Chris Lord and Phil Miller in January after he posted his Lego remake of the "Across the Spider-Verse" trailer to Twitter. Among the tweet's 836,000 viewers were Phil Lord and Chris Miller, two impressed producers who just happened to have directed the 2014 animated blockbuster "The Lego Movie."
According to the New York Times, Mutanga re-created the trailer shot-for-shot using his dad's old computers, but had been developing his animation skills for several years.
