“When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you.” But why hurt the dragons? Universal Pictures has unveiled an official teaser trailer for their live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie, following the Disney trend of turning their animated classics into “live-action” movies that feature tons of animated CGI in them anyway. The original HTTYD movie opened in theaters in 2010, and it was such a huge success for DreamWorks Animation they went on to make two more sequels, with the grand finale How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World landing in 2019. The story follows a young Viking boy as he aspires to help hunt dragons, and how he becomes unexpectedly a friend of a young dragon he decides to name Toothless. From the same director as the original three animated movies. Mason Thames (from The Black Phone) stars as Hiccup, Gerard Butler as Stoick, Nico Parker as Astrid, with Nick Frost, Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, and Peter Serafinowicz, and Murray McArthur. This is a beautiful first look, actually has a better vibe than Disney’s other “live-action” movies.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Dean DeBlois’s live-action How To Train Your Dragon, from YouTube:
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his role from the movies), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (Nico Parker) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader. 🛡
How To Train Your Dragon (live-action) is once again written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Dean DeBlois, director of the original three animated How to Train Your Dragon movies previously, plus a few music videos and other projects. The story is inspired by Cressida Cowell’s NY Times bestselling book series. It’s produced by Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, and Dean DeBlois. This new How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX Program. Universal Pictures will debut the live-action How To Train Your Dragon movie in theaters nationwide starting June 13th, 2025 next summer. Anyone interested in watching this?
