With three successful films, “How to Train Your Dragon” is one of the best animated series of all time. The live-action adaptation by Dean DeBlois is now joined by an old franchise acquaintance – Gerard Butler.
In 2010, the first part of the “ How to Train Your Dragon ” series reached the local cinemas and took the hearts of animation fans by storm. Two no less successful sequels followed in the coming years, making the franchise a total of around $1.6 billion at the box office.
Last February, fans were blessed with the news that the fantasy hit would be getting its own live-action film – and from the best hands possible for this endeavor. None other than Dean DeBlois is writing and directing the live-action remake, who was already responsible for the three popular animated films.
Now there will be another reunion with an old acquaintance from the original trilogy in the live-action adaptation of “ How to Train Your Dragon ”. As Deadline reports, action star Gerard Butler is joining the cast of the fantasy film and will also visually embody the role of Viking chief Stoick this time, after he already lent his voice to the character in the animated series in the original English language.
