The cast of live-action remake How To Train Your Dragon - including Gerard Butler and Nick Frost - on taking the popular children's story to the next level. By ELLA WALKER
Academy Award nominations and grossed more than $1.6billion has returned to direct, write and produce the remake.
He's joined once more by Gerard Butler, 55, who reprises his role as viking leader Stoick.
The 300 and Olympus Has Fallen actor believes live-action takes the HTTYD stories to “the next level”.
...I don't think it can do anything but deepen the lore
“You get more out of the characters because they're more relatable, they're real, you're looking in their eyes, you can feel their souls,” he says, arguing the originals are now 15 years old and technology has moved on.
“We really can create a whole other world now,” he says. “That's the power of cinema, the places it can take you visually and emotionally, and this movie is really a testament to that.”
