Universal studio takes an example from Disney and is preparing a live-action version of the famous animation How to Train Your Dragon . Production has reportedly already started. Dean DeBlois, the man who previously created three films for us with Szczerbatek and Hiccup in the lead roles, is to be responsible for directing.
We don’t know if the live-action film will be a remake of the first How to Train Your Dragon or a completely new project, but at the moment the first option seems more likely. With the development of visual effects technology, it seems that the end result can be stunning, although we may also have concerns that the CGI will not look the way we want it to.
The film is still in development, so the cast has not yet been determined. However, we can assume that most of the voice cast from the animated version would not be suitable for the live-action version. The exception might be Gerard Butler. The actor lent his voice to King Stoic Ważki several times and this is one of his highest rated roles. Therefore, perhaps he will get an offer to star in the new version of How to Train Your Dragon .
While we can only speculate about the cast, we already know who will direct. The studio has confirmed that it will be Dean DeBlois. It is worth noting that while the artist has a lot of titles to his credit, so far he has only dealt with animated films. This will be the first opportunity for him to face the so-called. “live-action”.
Finally, we will mention a rumor that has circulated the Internet. According to her, the creators decided to create a live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon after watching one of the scenes of the HBO series House of the Dragon . In the first season’s finale, we could see two dragons clash, one of them being ridden by a young boy. This is said to have inspired the heads of Universal . Was it really like that? Well, maybe someday we’ll find out.
