Dean DeBlois, who wrote and directed the HTTYD trilogy in the 2010s, has returned to helm the project. He believes the story’s stakes will feel more intense in live-action, explaining that it's 'so dialed-up in terms of stakes' since viewers will see a 'fully credible, photo-real dragon stomping around trying to kill him.' This reinvention aims to offer a different experience compared to the animated original.
Cressida Cowell, the author of the original book series, has voiced support for the live-action remake. She shared her excitement in an Instagram post after visiting the set in Northern Ireland, stating that the adaptation has its merits and is worth exploring, even if it prompts discussion about whether it’s necessary. The anticipation among fans will be palpable as they compare this new undertaking to the animated franchise.
