- And it actually looks to be good? Now the first wind of a live action How To Train Your Dragon movie actually came out months and months ago. But now we’re starting to really get the good details - as TWO celebrity casting roles have been confirmed. And both of them, to me, bring in a lot of positive hype. From one end, you have a mainstay of the original animated production, Gerard Butler (voice actor of Stoick, PLAYING Stoick). And on the other hand you have Nick Frost, beloved icon, with the perfect accolade to fit right in. So come join me as I delve all the nitty gritty details as this DreamWorks cashgrab looks to be more appealing by the day, since after all, HTTYD Is Getting A Live Action…

...Am I a fool? For falling for this casting? Or are we about to see a real spit in Disney’s face?

My main worry so far is the dragons themselves there designs are so iconic you have to Get them right and I’m worried for when they’ll reveal them
I’m not worried, especially since a lot of the dragons were used at Universal parks, and many of them work out very well with the costumed face characters
@@pink-a-palouza7888and the best part is. The director from the previous 3 film’s is helming this live action version and I have a feeling he will get it right
yes and i hope toothless and the light fury are still cute
I hope they make the dragons (Toothless especially) look good and not uncanny. I also hope the dragons look convincing as special effects and hope the don't over-CGI the dragons and balance the dragons as a blend of cgi and animatronics
Add that to the pile list of issues.
I can't believe DreamWorks is getting in on live action remakes. Ironic that they're the ones chasing this Disney trend. Hopefully it'll do better than them, but I'm not holding my breath.
I hear ya
I think they are actually going to make it good as a callout to how bad Disney’s have been.
You do realize that Astrid is getting a race swap, right?
I think I’m a little more positive about this since it’s dreamworks.
@@JeremyMasterson938 why the fu-
they're VIKINGS
No one can replace Jay Baruchel’s interpretation of Hiccup. It was clear this character was meant to be more timid, but Jay was able to make him seem very sarcastic while still holding that timidity.
The kid in the new Percy Jackson shows would be pretty good there. Though I'm not sure on age (seems 14 15 ish)
@@user-dm9my7uw9sHiccup is 16 in the first movie so that would be the correct age range, and honestly, I can see that kid as Hiccup, but I’m perfectly fine with the kid that they have playing him
@@user-dm9my7uw9s he seemed a lot older in the movie, but he is technically supposed to be 15. It’s weird just because of the voice actors deeper voice.
well there's not only the english adaptation. but i mean, i like hay baruchel's hiccup. i won't mind another actor though.
@@user-dm9my7uw9sHe does not really have Hiccups awkwardness and no offence to him but his acting is not really up to par to act out of what he portrays.
Mad props to the fearless cameramen who'll be filming the live-action dragons
It takes true guts to get so close to such fierce actors.
Imagine if it turns into a documentary halfway.
@@blockhead5013Now I’D watch THAT
The story dosent need retelling. It dosent need a live action remake.
dosent
dosent
thats what I am saying if they mess this up not only do they ruin our childhood but also a great franchise. Though the last one didn't live up to the standards of the first two but it was still quite good.
I kinda agree, I do want to watch it, but I also don't want the live action remake thing to become a trend when they could be making new movies :(
@SquarahKat Every good thing must come to an end and I think they should finally let it be
Imagine if we next get a live-action Bee Movie next. Or Boss Baby. Or Shark Tale
I wouldn’t be against a live action Monsters vs Aliens.

I actually like that movie. It's not as bad as you'd think. It's not the best, but considering when it came out it's pretty good lol.
DON'T ENCOURAGE THEM!
@@vvitch-mist20 I think it still holds up. Though wonder if it ever gets the live action treatment, how it would do. Even the animated movie did a good job with size and sense of scale.
If I’m being completely honest I don’t want there to be a live action adaptation. HTTYD was my childhood and I just feel like a live action adaption would take away the majesty and wonder of what HTTYD is
I'm calling it. Hiccup or Astrid will be played by black people. You watch and see. Or those blonde twins. Keep forgetting their names.
@joshmoonXY the twins are rough nut and tough nut.
Also I'm pretty I saw the actor for Astrid is like half black or something 💀
@@DomBrungardtCubing I hate the film industry. It's always the white female protagonists or secondary protagonists.
@joshmoonXY the film industry has gone so down the drain with all their woke bullshit agendas in almost every movie. I can't even watch the new movies that have come out the last few years their so bad. They always have to make the white characters black and not vice versa. And they make the strong independent mary sues that beat up and are better than the dumb stupid weak men.
Why do they have to do this to httyd😭?
@@DomBrungardtCubing I just don't get it. Obviously the humans are based on Vikings or Scandinavian or Nordic peoples.
How can they justify placing a black girl in that setting?
While I'm sure that a lot of people will looking forward to this, it's HTTYD after all, I just hate the 'turn an animated movie into live action' as a concept.
Animation as a visual medium have been trying so hard for so long to be viewed as a equal by everyone so just the idea of someone looking at an animated movie and go "this sucks, it's should have been live action instead" for zero reasons other than it just happened to be animated feels almost like something people would do for no reason other than to try to devalue animation as a medium.
When was the last time the opposite happened where someone took a live action movie and turned into an animated remake? Let alone one that was actually good? I can't think of any on top of my head.
Doesn't help the fact that the only people I know who cares or likes live action remakes are mostly people who are too scared to watch a good animated film cause they are way too worried of being called "childish" by other people. Something an adult would only be worried of if they somehow never grew past middle school.
This comment ☝️
🤷 Compared to other mediums it still gets a whole lot more respect than video games. Be lucky they're not in the same situation as video games. Even though they make way more than films. Above seem to have the issue where the industry just doesn't respect them. They just respect video games even less.
@@HK47_115The news reporter and making fun of the boy who beaten Tetris…
Live action Toothless will probably be cursed
It is, in the first movie dvd there like a short film with a live action version short of toothless
Hopefully not, it's basically a salamander with wings and cat eyes

I dunno about that

I think what people forget is that HTTYD is a book adaptation. So I think it would be really neat if they took more inspiration from the book for the remake. I'm a little worried, but also cautiously optimistic.
Considering how different the books are, they’d probably have to drop a ton from the movies for that. Not saying it’s a bad idea, just that it’d be a really different story.
Me too, I wish they'd decided to make the live action more accurate to the book to make something different and not risking to ruin the og movie at the same time.
(We all know it's not going to happen, unfortunately)
I have never read the books, but I think that using this change from animation to live action could have been a good excuse to tell Cowell's version of the story and bring something new to the big screens.
I really don't see the point in live action remakes, especially if the movie is recent (ex: Moana) or absolutely perfect as it is (HTTYD 2010)😕
@@giulf3der957they would be too scared to touch on the dark themes of the books. And those were considered children's books mind you! But today everyone is sensitive
i would kill for a movie version that actually sticks to the books
It's a retelling of the first movie.
One thing they need to do is make sure John Powell is still on music, it won’t be a httyd film without his music.
I’m personally cautious about the news, due to Disney having poisoned the potential of live action and animation
Who wanted this? Disney making terrible live-action remakes of their animated movies is bad enough, now DreamWorks is chasing the trend?
Yup
It’s time for DreamWorks to suffer!
@emptyglass7867 I'm gen z and I don't want this I hate the concept of making animation live action I would have less of a problem with it if we would also see it the other way around I hate that animation isn't taken seriously the funny thing is that the live action is often more childish
I agree
Omens is if surprising? Y’all portray Dreamworks as this awesome studio who hates Disney and just vibes but remember they’re a studio. They want money too, and they will hop on trends
It's disheartening that even Dreamworks is going the Disney route, of remaking their animated features into live-action remakes, could you imagine what a live-action remake of Shrek would look like? Although it has the potential to work, this is still novelty, a facet that plagued the live-action Disney remakes, that could only serve to cheapen the value of the original work, moreover, I am not looking forward to seeing Kung Fu Panda getting a live-action copy, should that ever come around, but if Hollywood insists on copying their old content, I'll look elsewhere for new stuff.
Well. This live action dragon movie is actually being directed from the person who directed the animated 3
Disney’s live action remakes don’t work because of other reasons, not because they’re live action. Maybe the DreamWorks live actions will at least be on par with the animated ones
Dreamworks is a studio like any other. Ofc they’ll hop on trends
If DreamWorks is gonna do live action reimaginings of their animated movies, I wouldn’t mind a live action Monsters vs Aliens.
Same
@@EagerBeaverAnimsYT I hear ya. Look at the success of the recent giant monster movies. And even the 2009 movie did a good job with portraying size and sense of scale.
i think they could also use the live action to make the original better. I liked the movie ngl, but there were so many missed opportunities for jokes and actual things at stake. They could get very creative. Lets see
You actually want the movie about seth rogen tomato bojack fish & ugly Dwight schrute megamind Cosplay to be remade
@@UptownFoul I hear ya
I was really hoping this would be a closer adaptation of the books but given that theyve cast Astrid it looks unlikely, then again I guess they would be hesitant to have a character named Kamikaze so it would make sense to have Astrid in her place.
Regardless I REALLY hope they cast David Tennant in some role, he narrated the books and has cameos in all the movies and shows, his love for the franchise is pretty clear.
Me too, I wish they'd decided to make the live action more accurate to the book to make something different and not risking to ruin the og movie at the same time.

The beauty of the HTTYD is instead of staying faithful to the books, they adapted to make something as perfect for animation as the book as perfect for paper
Honestly, the animated movie is better than the books
@@cryppi1510 It's really not though
@@cryppi1510 no. just no.
The first HTTYD has such a special place in my heart. One of the best movies ever made imo. I'm very cautious about a live action remake but the fact that so many people from the OG movie are gonna be working on this gives me hope that it won't be as soulless as the Disney remakes.
Then I guess you won’t mind a live action shrek then
@@JeremyMasterson938 Oh no, don't get me wrong, I absolutely would. If it were up to me none of them would have live action remakes, but being it's happening anyways, and they have ppl from the OG team working on it, there's no shame in cautiously hoping that it won't be 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 trash. ╮(•︿•)╭ We'll just have to wait and see.
"The Downed Dragon" scene is going to be absolutely terrifying!!! (i hope)
When hiccup gets pinned in the og and hes just starring into the eyes of the dreaded nightfury (toothless) as the soundtrack booms it sends chills down my back!!
I hope they dont hold back. Scare the shit out of everyone. make us fear for our lives, and then have to gain toothless's trust through out the movie.
ya iam VERY excited!!!!!
I actually hope they make it more like the books because that's an entirely different story and it would be more unique to see that done than just the animated movies all over again
It’s gonna be just like the live action Lion King. The EXACT SAME SCRIPT WITH NO CHANGES. Just live action.
Maybe. But some live action movies are different then the animated ones. Alice in wonderland. The jungle book. Dumbo. Even beauty and the beast has introduced new footage and characters from the live action version. Even tho it might be the same story it will probably play out differently. Not every live action movie is the same as the original one.
Now with race swaps!
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin no
@@user-tz3wq3yo5k unfortunately it’s a yes 🤮
I hope they still create that magic nostalgia for the live action HTTYD.
The director of the first 3 animated films is directing this one so maybe it will
There was once a HTTYD play, it didin't seem cursed at all
I forgot about that
I hope DreamWorks knows what they are doing.
They won’t have an excuse if they mess this up because they had plenty of examples of what not to do.
Yeah, but this is the opportunity for dreamworks and Universal to remake some underrated dreamworks films like Monsters vs. Aliens The Bee Movie Over the hedge and Rise of the Guardians to introduce to a new generation and to appease long time fans
I had really hoped Alexander Rybak would've been hiccup. His face, and awkward demeanor is perfect for the first, but his confidence, and him being good looking is awesome for the second movie.
He’s sadly not an actor. Also to old
Personally, if Dreamworks makes A Live-Action HTTYD film, I would like for it to feel like the old films, but also having a new vibe. You know what made the live-action Cinderella so good? It mixed elements from The original films, as well as creating new things that worked!!
Dogsbreath (a character from the novel) would appear, he would have a scauldron named “Whirlpool”.
Its fitting that this film might drop around when Epic Universe will open in Florida with the HTTYD land. Good marketing if you ask me
If they make a live action version of shrek I think Markipier should play lord farquad.
I’m still waiting for the scene that changed How To Train Your Dragon 2.
If you ask me, it’s a tie between Stoic reunited with his wife and Toothless being brainwashed to kill Hiccup only for Stoic to give his own life in the last second.
Honestly if they go down this route, it'd be cool to see a HTTYD that follows to books more so, just so that it isn't a carbon copy of the already animated film. The current films are such a unique and cool adaptation with recognizable character and dragon designs, it'd feel weird to see that translated to live action without looking goofy. I also feel though if it follows the books more that there would be a large audience that would be upset to not see their version of Toothless (personally that's how I felt growing up with the books first and then seeing the first trailer years ago hahah, but I do love the movies, they're fantastic).
If it doesn't expand on the already known lore and details or lean towards the book's story, I feel that it'll be another stale, same-story adaptation. Sure it's not Disney, which gives me more hope, but man alive. Something fresh would be nice.
I also don't want this to sound too negative either; I'm glad to hear the og directors are going at it! I think it'll be good, just hoping they really take this trend and show other studios how to do it right! We just gotta wait and see what happens, weeee
Me too, I wish they'd decided to make the live action more accurate to the book to make something different and not risking to ruin the og movie at the same time.

As an aside although HTTYD the movies/tv show are inspired by a book series, the plot is literally entirely different. I honestly could summarize the plots of both the movies and book series separately faster than listing out the differences. It's so different that basically the only things in common is the names of some of the characters (not all of them, Astrid and the Twins didn't exist in the books for what I remember).
Exactly
Why are Dreamworks doing this? Disney's remakes only got a bunch of money on the first few when the concept was new, by now people seem to be sick of live action remakes. Not to mention, Disney's remakes were, at least at first, of films that were old classics from the 50s and 60s (Cinderella and Jungle Book) or at least a couple decades earlier. HTTYD is only from 2010, and I don't know if it was the same long-standing phenomenon that something that Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast were. In fairness, it hasn't really had enough time to prove itself either way for that. Disney's remakes are making less and less return, and I honestly think this is a bad idea at this time.
You'd think that Dreamworks' team would notice how bad Disney is doing right now and realize that following in their footsteps would be a mistake.
Dreamworks is also a greedy studio. They’re gonna hop on the trend
They better make toothless Chris Pratt.
@emptyglass7867 yeah as well as the red death and stormfly
No better yet!Chris Pine as...well..uhhh somebody.........JF
@emptyglass7867 hiccup Pratt, Astrid Pratt, the red pratt, stormpratt, and prattless
Making Astrid look nothing like Astrid is a crime. I hope this fails for this reason and this reason alone
Mulan was completely casted as Asians as well as avatar the last air bender. Why are we not sticking to the ethnic accuracy for this one too?
Don’t cherry pick. Many characters don’t look the same in remakes. Percy Jackson made many characters look completely different, including making Percy a blond with curly hair instead of straight black hair. And that’s just one example
I remember the live show they tried with HTTYD. The designs for the dragons were more than a little strange, so I hope they stick a little closer to their source for this.
I remember how their Toothless looked. He was ugly af
A live action Megamind would be pretty epic I think. Not to mention I think Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill could reprise their roles in live action.
This was the other one I thought would be good.
Im actually excited for this. It'll be cool to see the dragon's live actions designs!
Personally I'm blaming Disney for this because Disney and DreamWorks have been fighting each other for years ever since DreamWorks made the Antz movie so it only makes sense that DreamWorks will try to cash in on that live action movie money🔥🐉
Don’t blame Disney, blame the world today.
@@JeremyMasterson938 Nah, I blame Disney. People are going to these films less and less, and they're starting to cost the company but Disney has been stubbornly pushing forward making soulless remakes that nobody really wants. I also blame Dreamworks, though. They should be able to see that Disney's stock is tanking and learn from Disney's mistakes instead of blindly copying them.
@@MissCookieThief then why in God’s green earth are they race swapping Astrid just like Ariel?
@@MissCookieThiefBlud
Don't blame Disney for everything it's they're decision so they will bleed
@@JeremyMasterson938 What does that have to do with anything? I'm just talking about the endless stream of soulless live action remakes. Disney started the trend and are still doing it. If the world today was the problem, these films would still be making huge returns the way the first few did. But the latest ones have all been flops, meaning audiences aren't falling for it anymore. People are finally seeing the lazy storytelling and lack of originality, and they're not rewarding it with their hard-earned money.
If the live action remake is not a faithful adaptation of the books, then I'll pass.
I find that funny that Astrid is black, because I used to imagine my movie version of Camicazi as dark skinned back when I was big into the fandom.
Animation as a medium deserves high respects for the talent, skills, patience and dedication that go into it. The medium has so much potential for artistic visuals and storytelling which can't be captured by any live-action remake, no matter how good.
I don't understand this trend of live-action remakes. Do you see the same amount of animated remakes with live-action films? No. It's just cash grabs and belittling to the art of storytelling. Doesn't matter if the live-action is good. This shouldn't be the case.
Is this gonna be Dreamworks’ first live action remake? Because this can be a good competitor against Disney’s remakes
Anyways, I love Moana and I’m excited for the Moana live action remake
Wouldn’t shock me. And there are some animated movies from DreamWorks I wouldn’t mind getting the live action treatment.
I guess you wouldn’t mind if they race swap characters. Because that’s what they’re doing to Astrid.
they also race swapped ariel in the Little mermaid live action remake last year @@JeremyMasterson938
@@ProWierdchampThen if they were to do a live action remake of shrek, then they would probably do the same for Fiona.
@@JeremyMasterson938Race swapping has existed sense the 60s. Some 90s, 2000s, and 2010s films even had race swapping. It's nothing new.
im happy that this is being made my dreamworks and not disney, for obvious reasons
I'm glad that Universal acquired Dreamworks, because now we're getting the massive HTTYD land at Epic Universe!
No one can replace animation
It's always the movies I watch a week ago that I hear of again on the media, Hope they do good
Let me guess black astrid?
Yes actually…
I wish the creators would make a spin off prequel about toothless' backstory, where he was born, his childhood, his parents, the other night furies and before toothless met Hiccup and became his best friend, and a new series with hiccup and astrid's children as the main protagonists instead of a live action remake
Cast so far looks pretty good, so I'm willing to give it a chance. Plus, Dreamworks is so much better at delivery than Disney. Think of how many hits they've had recently, so they're bound to be just as driven to please audiences with their live action remakes.
What hits? Ruby Gillman was a flop, and Trolls 3 sucked!
@@googamp32 Puss N Boots 2, The Bad Guys, Captain Underpants...
The astrid casting was stupid
Astrid is being race swapped you know
@@George_Fl0yd I mean, are we surprised? And she's not the worst, with her somewhat in face structure looking like Astrid, and her being more mixed. Who knows, maybe she will be a really good Astrid through her acting? I'm willing to give it a chance
This is the perfect opportunity to make a faithful adaptation of the book this time, but that won't happen because this is the industry that brought back Willy Wonka in three different ways, none of which are an adaptation of the book's sequel.
love how to train your dragon, but don’t really love live actions, hope its better than Pinocchio
You do realize that having a live action remake of a really good animated movie removes what made said movie really good
@@HeyItsLitoI made that comment before knowing the content of the video, I dont really like live actions
@@Augutin- ok good because I thought you were an idiot for a second
Would be hard not to be better than the live action Pinocchio.
I remember going to the theater alone to watch how to train your dragon 3 and I cried at the end knowing it’s the last movie but hearing this I feel weirdly happy
It better be Jay Baruchello still playing hiccup or I swear I will riot
I guess I can trust DreamWorks and Universal with this… I mean i gotta see the trailer first tho
I just realized everyone is doing 2d or 3d animation into reboots but why has no one tried a 2d into 3d animation reboot like lilo and stich that would be awesome
My biggest question is why? Isn't the original movie good enough? The story and characters are great, the "test drive" scene is amazing and I don't see a reason for a remake. What can a live action movie do, that the animated can not? As others have pointed out, HTTYD is a book adaptation, so the only way I see this movie working is if they make a completly new story, or at least different enough story from the animated movie.
Me too, I wish they'd decided to make the live action more accurate to the book to make something different and not risking to ruin the og movie at the same time.
(We all know it's not going to happen, unfortunately)
I have never read the books, but I think that using this change from animation to live action could have been a good excuse to tell Cowell's version of the story and bring something new to the big screens.
I really don't see the point in live action remakes, especially if the movie is recent (ex: Moana) or absolutely perfect as it is (HTTYD 2010)😕
They should cast 100gecs as leftnut and rightnut
NO NO NO NO *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
what i think they should do is they should make a 3rd version of the story, the book is currently different from the movies, lets do it again
I can't believe DreamWorks is pulling a Disney is Hollywood really running out of ideas what the heck is going on!?
It's only a matter of time before Illumination and Sony animation does the same thing.
now that, is something i would be kinda down to see, there's only certain things you can do with the limitations of real life, and it might be fun to see what they can do with this
As I was watching the video my sister started watching the first one and I forgot how good it was. If DreamWorks does this right then I'll be hyped for more in the future.
I’m hopefully optimistic about this movie, the original is one of my favorites of all time and based on what I’ve heard about the remake it’s looking to be pretty good
Also I’m fancasting Liv Pearsal as Ruffnut
Over all I'm hesitant to be excited for this movie, but I just have two things holding me back from being fully excited for it. First is, why? The other movies are perfect. I don't see what this new live action can add to the trilogy, it kinda just feels like a money grab. Second is the casting for Astrid. I understand that this is a fantasy world and so real life logic is out of the picture, but for me its more than that. For me Astrid was the one of the only blonde hair and blue eyed characters that wasn't either a complete popular brat that is obsessed with how she looks and how much everyone loves her or the "dumb blonde". She was strong and smart. She was understanding and while she was a good leader she was also a good listener. As a kid and even now, I could always look at Astrid and know that there was someone who looked like me and wasn't the antagonist or dummy. I mean Princess and the Frog is a fantasy story, but if there was a live action and we made lead female (because it seems that every race swap has been the lead female) white, it would be seen as majorly racist because it is a story made to focus on a black princess. The same can be said for HTTYD in that it was made about a Scandinavian town. I just wish that Dreamworks didn't fall down the trap that almost every other live action film has so far, and I hope that they are able to make up for it in other aspects of the movie.
Tbh, I don't mind them making a httyd in live action,but at this point I would rather them making an other original story, with different characters and maybe even an other part of the world with the dragons. The consequences of Hiccup's action on other people, the rumours and all. I think it would be a lot more interesting than just redoing the same story with little changes.
... Why do I have a bad feeling about all of this...
Here’s mine cast
Helena Zengel as Astrid
Cameron Crovetti as Snotlout
Walker Scobell as Tuffnut
Elle Graham as Ruffnut
What exactly are they going to do differently in the live action version than the animated version? I mean, just b/c it ain't Disney doesn't mean they're immune from making the same bad choices.
I dare them to make a live action shrek, kung fu panda, and even Madagascar! It’s time for DreamWorks to suffer, as Disney has!
There is nothing you can do to genuinely improve on the original with this kind of remake. Change my mind.
Is Universal tryna be like Disney now
Yup
I hope they’re doing it to sabotage DreamWorks because it looks like Illumination is Universal’s favorite child in the animation game more than the other. So what’s the point of keeping both? Just shut down DreamWorks already!
Look normally I enjoy live action adaptation im probably one of the only people excited for the Zelda Movie but im not for it when we already had a film and it's not even that old Disney does all the time and it never works do you really think DreamWorks can do it and make work if they do I'll be impressed.
I kinda hope the remake will follow the books more closely rather than make its own story like the original movies did
Let’s not. Live action remakes are already pretty shit nowadays, this doesn’t sound promising
I know this is a touchy subject. But can someone constructively explain to me how it makes sense to have a black girl in a Norse/ Nordic/Scandinavian setting?
I can't describe my happiness right now😭😭😭
Honestly I used to love live action movies based on cartoons when I was a kid back in the early 2000s such as Inspector Gadget, The Grinch, and Scooby Doo despite some of those movies being critically panned, but nowadays live action movies based on animated movies just feels so overdone.
“No no no no no” my love reaction
2:45
I thought I was the only one that noticed toothless and stitch have some kind of similarity
I demand a Shark Tales live action so I can get absurdly drunk and make fun of it the whole time.
That’s the only thing a live action remake is good for.
Minus the Lion King
And a live action remake of road to el dorado since chel is dress inappropriately and her don't mind Miguel and Tulio taking off their clothes
If we get a live action Shrek im going to throw up and I haven't done that in almost 7 years.
I’m really curious how companies are seeing the “Live-Action Adaption” as Safe.
Right now this movie is supposed release the same weekend as the live action Moana. So i guess it's a battle of which studio is going to butcher their beloved property more?
I feel like how to train your Dragon is one of the few movies that DreamWorks made that live action remake makes sense on doing, especially since a lot of advancement in technology, would make a nice seamless integration of the dragon designs with the live action actors
But I’m also excited to see if any other actors from the original franchise ends up coming back as like background characters, or even some characters if they can
There’s been some amazing Viking movies that could get some of the actors who would be great in HTTYD world
I've been a fan since the first movie, my username is named after my httyd OC, I've seen all the movies, shorts, shows and played many of the games, and I must admit im very sceptical though i suppose that's a common sentiment.
I was excited for the beauty and the beast life action only for it to disappoint and since then I've been warry of live action remakes, that plus my unwavering love for htyyd makes it hard to get optimistic.
The only positive thing i think of is that people are going to talk about the animated movies and show more and make people realize how amazing they are.
If the remake is more based on the book I can see it as somewhat separate, like Willy Wonka and Charlie and the chocolate factory.
But I've always been a 'don't knock it till you try it' person so I'll try to stay as neutral as possible until we see more
It at least won't be as bad as 'that' show...right?
LIKE, HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?
For fancasting, I'm def hoping for a Jack Black as Spitelout (if they even include Spitelout in this one,) and probably all new young actors for the roles of the supporting cast.
*Welp the entire film industry's fucked now*
At least we have indie projects!!!
Maybe Kit Harrington needs to play Hiccup after his role already with Toothless. They have already bonded😂
I wish America Ferrera and Jay Baruchel could make cameo appearances in the live action HTTYD
I think Eddie Hall as Stoick was a missed opportunity personally
Great. Another live action we didn’t ask for, don’t need, don’t want.
It's crazy how every since universal bought dreamworks and put the head of illumination of all people in charge that they had made some of their most creative and best films in a long while from the sequels of the crowds 2, httyd3 and puss in boots to newer stuff like the bad guys, I only have faith in this adaptation
I'm hoping that they add some of the other characters from the books, especially Hiccup's Grandfather, Old Wrinkly whom i think David Tennant would be a perfect fit for instead of Spitlout, i think it would make a wholesome addition since in the books Old Wrinkly always had a strong belief in Hiccup and was his biggest supporter.
They need to have Alvin in it, and maybe even the witch. They are both standouts from the books, and even if they don’t show up in the first movie, I’d love to see Alvin in the second. Also it would help to have world building like in the books as well as a connected story, something that the animated movies lacked.
I wonder if they're gonna make toothless close to his 3d animation version or a more realistic version like the how to train your dragon live spectacular
Good question
Toothless will actually be a expensive plane
honestly id be happy to see puppets be brought back as a medium for the dragons. not sure if thats gonna happen, but just saying that would be cool..
You guys figure this out now? Casting calls have been up for a couple months
I’m glad people are getting fed up with race swapping. If anything I think race swapping is racist because it puts the idea that other races REQUIRE a member of their race to connect with the characters
The Prince of Egypt is literally sitting on Universal's lap to be adapted into live-action, giving that they're doing a lot of musical films lately (Les Misérables, Cats, Dear Evan Hansen, the upcoming Wicked).
Its a religious movie, unless you're Godzilla: king of monsters, dont expect hollywood to even try tolerating religion in their movies now.
The last live action movie about taming a dragon that I’ve watched was Aragon
