The official trailer for the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon has arrived, and it looks as though writer and director Dean DeBlois is bring back some very familiar elements in hopes of recreating what made the animated films so beloved.
How to Train Your Dragon follows Hiccup (Mason Thames), the awkward son of Viking chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising the role he voiced in the animated films). Already struggling to fit in with the dragon-fighting Vikings, Hiccup’s life grows even more complicated when he unexpectedly befriends a dangerous Night Fury he names Toothless.
Judging from the trailer, several shots in the live-action film look practically identical to its animated predecessor, particularly Hiccup and Toothless’ famous first meeting. We’ll just have to wait and see what if any changes have been made to distinguish How to Train Your Dragon‘s live-action adaptation from the phenomenally popular animated film.
How to Train Your Dragon flies into theatres June 13.
