Revisit the origins of one of animation’s most beloved interspecies friendships in the soaring official trailer for How to Train Your Dragon, a new live-action adaptation coming to theaters and IMAX on June 13 through Universal Pictures.
Based on the acclaimed CG film trilogy from DreamWorks Animation and the original New York Times bestselling books by Cressida Cowell, this cinematic return to Berk is once again helmed by three-time Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois — the creative pilot of DWA’s Dragon films. With cutting-edge VFX tech, the animated dragons come to life in a new realistic dimension alongside their live-action co-stars.
Synopsis: On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.
As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
The film also stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).
How to Train Your Dragon is written, produced and directed by DeBlois. It is also produced by three-time Oscar nominee Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns). How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world.
DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated global audiences, earning four Academy Award nominations and grossing more than $1.6 billion at the global box office.
