If you've watched How to Train your Dragon and Walking with Dinosaurs, you're gonna love this! From the Creators of Walking With Dinosaurs, they are making a live performance of How to Train Your Dragon, with the same animatronics as they did for the Dinosaurs, they will do the same thing but with Dragons! Coming 2012 How To Train Your Dragon Arena Spectacular - YouTube
Well, I haven't seen Walking with Dinosaurs yet. I missed it. TTwTT But, yay for good old Aussie making the animatroics again! W00t!
Apparently, I've only seen the Deadly Nadder Dragon so far, This video shows them making the Gronkle. The Monstrous Nightmare is my favorite, can't wait to see how that turns out.
REPORT: Live-Action How to Train Your Dragon Remake in the Works A Patreon post by insider Daniel Richtman, reported via The Direct, claimed that How to Train Your Dragon's writer/director, Dean DeBlois, is set to write and direct a live-action adaptation of the classic animated DreamWorks film for Universal. DeBlois, who also wrote and directed Disney's 2002 smash hit, Lilo & Stich, worked on the entire Dragon Trilogy. For now, it is unclear if the live-action project will continue the existing storyline or adapt the 2010 film.
So... this was my initial reaction: Seriously, the original trilogy was a freaking masterpiece. I don't see how a live-action version is going to make it better. ...then I read the article and saw who was involved... Not exactly how I feel but definitely had the same 180 in my opinion. Seeing the people involved in this I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. My biggest trepidation now is that DreamWorks really isn't known for live-action anything as far as I recall and I'm still not sure how you top the original trilogy.
Original director is an OKAY sign, but I can’t say this is necessary. Come on, even Disney waited until their movies were like 25 years old to remake them. That said, the puppets and animatronics for these live shows for Dragons have all looked amazing. I love the movies besides 3 and even that one I can respect, and I think the world is big enough that one could tell a separate story from Toothless and Hiccup.
