Although this movie has not been released yet, we don't yet have a thread for new up and coming movies. Maybe we need one.
The new live action movie of How To Train Your Dragon is due for release on June 13th. There has been a number of CGI animated movies, and shows, but this is the first live action movie of the franchise, created by Dreamworks.
Its all about a hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed.
The story begins long ago up North on the Island of Berk, the young Viking, Hiccup, wants to join his town's fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However, his macho father and village leader, Stoik the Vast, will not allow his small, clumsy, but inventive son to do so. Regardless, Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, Hiccup and the dragon, whom he dubs Toothless, begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species. But even as the two each take flight in their own way, they find that they must fight the destructive ignorance plaguing their world.
This is going to be an amazing movie. I'm so excited to see this...
