Back to the Beginning—with a Twist

It’s a full reimagining of the film that sparked a global phenomenon, merging cutting-edge effects with heartfelt storytelling.

Set once again on the rugged isle of Berk, where humans and dragons have long been at odds, the film follows Hiccup: an inventive teen and unlikely hero. When he defies Viking tradition by befriending Toothless, their bond upends everything the village thought it knew about dragons—and paves the way for a new era of understanding.

A Legacy Rekindled

Inspired by Cressida Cowell’s best-selling book series, the How to Train Your Dragon animated trilogy enchanted audiences worldwide, earning over $1.6 billion globally and four Academy Award® nominations. Now, with visual effects that promise awe-inspiring realism, this live-action adventure is set to rekindle that same wonder in spectacular fashion.

From Animation to Realism: A New Era Begins

Under the guidance of producers Marc Platt, Dean DeBlois, and Adam Siegel, the live-action adaptation aims to bring deeper character arcs, thrilling action sequences, and the timeless themes of courage and friendship to the forefront—this time, with a touch of realism that will leave audiences breathless.
