The teaser for the live-action remake of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon has flown in forward of its June launch.
While Disney has had no downside going again to a few of their greatest animated hits to rework them into live-action motion pictures, that solely forces the hand of different studios to do the identical. And whereas Disney has a much bigger pool than DreamWorks, the latter has probably the most beloved animated franchises of the century to play with. With that comes the trailer for his or her remake of How to Train Your Dragon, with DreamWorks trying to experience this one to field workplace glory. We’ve seen a little bit of footage all through the months, however this teaser (which aired throughout Super Bowl LIX) is a full pitch on promoting skeptical viewers to the thought. The full trailer drops Wednesday, however I gotta say, this appears fairly nice, proper?
Here is the official synopsis of the How to Train Your Dragon remake, as per distributor Universal Pictures: “On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, defies centuries of traditional dragon-fighting practice 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.” The forged contains Mason Thames, Gerard Butler (reprising Stoick the Vast), Nico Parker, Nick Frost, and Julian Dennison.
Considering it launched its first film, Antz, in 1998, DreamWorks Animation has a far totally different type of movie than what we’ve historically seen all through the historical past of Disney, who has already hit on so a lot of their classics already, bringing 20 or so of their 2D motion pictures to live-action life. (The studio additionally launched the trailer for his or her Lilo & Stitch remake in the course of the Super Bowl.) That they’re getting within the sport with How to Train Your Dragon reveals they’re severe about exhibiting how they will stack as much as Disney, though hopefully not a lot in order that we’ll be getting a horrifying live-action Shrek or Megamind within the close to future…
How to Train Your Dragon will deliver again director Dean DeBlois, having helmed the animated trilogy. Interestingly, he co-directed Lilo & Stitch with Chris Sanders, who, sure, is directing the live-action remake of that film. How to Train Your Dragon swoops into theaters on June thirteenth.
