The beloved animated film How to Train Your Dragon is set to take flight once again, this time as a live-action remake.
Directed by Dean DeBlois, who co-directed the original animated film, this new version promises to bring the magical world of Berk and its dragons to life in a whole new way. And after plenty of hype, Universal Pictures has finally dropped the first official teaser trailer for the film, revealing a shot-for-shot reimagining of the 2010 animated hit.
The teaser trailer gives fans a glimpse of Hiccup, played by Mason Thames, and Toothless, the Night Fury dragon, as they embark on their epic journey. The film stays true to the original storyline, with Hiccup defying his father, Stoick the Vast, reprised by Gerard Butler, by befriending a dragon instead of killing it. The bond between Hiccup and Toothless becomes the key to saving both Vikings and dragons from an ancient threat.
