The teaser for the live-action remake of DreamWorks Animation’s Methods to Practice Your Dragon has flown in forward of its June launch.
Whereas Disney has had no drawback going again to a few of their largest animated hits to rework them into live-action films, that solely forces the hand of different studios to do the identical. And whereas Disney has an even bigger pool than DreamWorks, the latter has one of the crucial beloved animated franchises of the century to play with. With that comes the trailer for his or her remake of Methods to Practice Your Dragon, with DreamWorks trying to journey this one to field workplace glory. We’ve seen a little bit of footage all through the months, however this teaser (which aired throughout Tremendous Bowl LIX) is a full pitch on promoting skeptical viewers to the thought. The total trailer drops Wednesday, however I gotta say, this seems to be fairly nice, proper?
Right here is the official synopsis of the Methods to Practice Your Dragon remake, as per distributor Common Photos: “On the rugged isle of Berk, the place Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the ingenious but ignored son of Chief Stoick the Huge, defies centuries of conventional dragon-fighting observe when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night time Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, difficult the very foundations of Viking society.” The solid consists of Mason Thames, Gerard Butler (reprising Stoick the Huge), Nico Parker, Nick Frost, and Julian Dennison.
Contemplating 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 lots of their classics already, bringing 20 or so of their 2D films to live-action life. (The studio additionally launched the trailer for his or her Lilo & Sew remake in the course of the Tremendous Bowl.) That they’re getting within the sport with Methods to Practice Your Dragon reveals they’re critical about exhibiting how they’ll 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…
Methods to Practice Your Dragon will carry again director Dean DeBlois, having helmed the animated trilogy. Apparently, he co-directed Lilo & Sew with Chris Sanders, who, sure, is directing the live-action remake of that film. Methods to Practice Your Dragon swoops into theaters on June thirteenth.
