How To Train Your Dragon | Final Trailer

Gerard Butler has shared exciting updates about the upcoming live-action How To Train Your Dragon, teasing a more dramatic and immersive experience than the animated original. Based on Cressida Cowell's book series, the beloved franchise debuted in 2010 with an animated film that follows Hiccup and his dragon, Toothless, as they bridge the gap between Vikings and dragons. The film became a critical and commercial success, spawning two sequels, multiple short films, and several TV series. Now, Butler will reprise his role as Hiccup's father, Stoick, in the upcoming How To Train Your Dragon live-action remake, which he describes as a completely different experience from the animated movies.

In a recent interview with The Direct, Butler revealed how the transition from animation to live-action has increased the emotional and visual stakes, making the film feel more immersive. He said, "When a dragon is breathing fire over a bunch of actual Viking men and women running, it feels a lot more scary than when it was animated."
