Teaser Trailer for the Live-Action HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON Movie
A teaser trailer has surfaced online for Universal Pictures’ live-action film adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon. I’ve been curious about this movie and how the creative team would actually bring it to life, and it looks like they managed to pull it off!
The footage features Mason Thames (The Black Phone) as the young Viking Hiccup and it focuses on what leads to his first encounter with the dragon, Toothless. It looks like this is going to basically be a shot-for-shot remake of the animated film.
The movie comes from director Dean DeBlois, who helmed all three animated films along with co-director Chris Sanders on the first film.
When talking about Hiccup, DeBlois says the character “represents all of the oddballs out there, and there are many of us.”
When talking about casting Thames in the role, DeBlois said: “There was a bit of awkwardness, but also a vulnerability to him which [came] with the fact that he was 15 when we were auditioning him.”
The movie also stars Nico Parker (The Last of Us) as Astrid, Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast, the leader of the Viking clan and Hiccup’s father, and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) as Viking named Gobber the Belch, the trusted friend and adviser of Stoick.
Using the books by Cressida Cowell as a jumping-off point, How to Train Your Dragon focuses on the special friendship between a young and unheroic Viking boy named Hiccup, and Toothless, an injured dragon he nurses back to health.
The movies chronicled Hiccup and Toothless’ quest to combat humanity’s prejudice against dragons, the ache of overcoming the loss of a parent, and first love.
The movie will be released on June 13th, 2025. Watch the teaser and let us know what you think!
