The director also said it will not be a shot for shot remake and he's keeping some of the fan favorite key moments. The vikings are also now decendants of the best dragon fighters far and beyond, and this is a fantasy, not historical fact.
The song choice at the end of the trailer is a remix of Test Drive and it is the same song writer who made the soundtracks in the original trilogy. Not sure if Jonsi is back or not though.
Yea I have the same opinion with the trailer as wirh the photos we got before. Its unnecerary and stupid. The visuals itself are fine, like it doesnt look terrible. My biggest problem is Something that some poeple seem to like , is that based on the trailer so far this, is a shot for shot remake! So many of the scened here are really similar to the animated version. So not only do they tell the same story again (even though this story isnt that old), they don't even make they own spin on how they film the scene. So far there has been nothing gained. they don't really use tha fact that its life Action at all. I bet if they were to Film this Story in Live Action for the First Time, then they would have done scenes differently. But instead its just the same scenes...again...but slightly worse in my opinion.And I do think its fair to directly compare them because they did a shot for shot remake. Dont do that if you don't want to be directly compared. Like the scene where toothless looks up at hiccup when hiccup has the knive over him. In this trailer he is looking at him with big ol eyes. They are playing on toothless cuteness. But in the original animated series, at this excact same scene toothless pupils are slits, showing his animalistic side, that he is threatening but also that he is scared. So again we loose that aspect. Instead toothless is just kinda cute there and playing on pity. And toothless is still cute later in the animted version. So we only lost Something and nothing gained I recognised so many scenes immedietly. Some like that aspect. I don't. Its just the same. I can just watch the animated film again. Also because so much is the same, there is a disconnect for me to the actors. To be clear this is nothing against the actors and this is not about acting abilty because I havnt seen the Film yet and the teaser is not enough to make any kind of judgement. This is how the scenes feel based on the trailer. Like hiccup seems a bit to tall wich of course is not the actors fault. Okay so what I am trying to say is that when looking at some of the scenes without the cgi, it just kinda feels like a weirdly high budget fan film. I think its because they recreate so much of the look of the film without adding anything. It feels like cosplay. Like a fan thingy. Not an official movie. This is just cosplay. We don't gain anything new as far as I can tell. (To be clear cosplay in itself is cool, as a fan thing, but I dislike it in this context, because this is official stuff and I rather have Something new) The thing is in the end if we were to look at the film in a vacuum then its gonna be an alright film. Because they are just doing a shot for shot remake of the original and the visuals itself arent bad or anything. So its gonna be a worse version of httyd 1 but the animated Film is fantastic ,that even a worse version would still be a good Film when looked in a vacuum. But it doesnt exist in a vacuum. The animted version exsists. So it just seems uninspired and kinda insulting to the animted version imo. So I am not gonna watch it unless I hear somewhere that it its not a shot for shot remake but I highly doubt it

Thanks for watching everyone! What do you think of the trailer?
Remember, there are kids that are not born yet that will love this movie.
Lol possibly eh
The director also said it will not be a shot for shot remake and he's keeping some of the fan favorite key moments. The vikings are also now decendants of the best dragon fighters far and beyond, and this is a fantasy, not historical fact.
