00:00I
00:02Decided to revisit how to train your dragon because it felt like an amazing opportunity to not only direct a live-action movie
00:10But to be jumping back into a world that I frankly miss
00:16Finish the script first draft. I miss these characters
00:20I missed this world and I love movies that have a really poignant message buried deep within a
00:27moving spectacle
00:30Adventure
00:31wonder and
00:33That's what this movie really packs. It's okay. I
00:37Won't hurt you. It's about a regular kid who gets to bond with a powerful animal and there is something that's universally wish-fulfilling
00:44about that
00:47But at its core
00:48This is really a story about
00:50Finding your voice and being brave enough to follow your own convictions in a world that wants you to become like everyone else dad
00:57I can't kill dragons marching to the beat of your own drum
01:02It's been such an important lesson for me in my life that I love to carry that forward
01:07I suppose it's just one question really is would you like to play hiccup in the movie?
01:12There's no way
01:14There's no way serious. Thank you. Oh my I can't this is the best moment of my life
01:19Would you like to play Astrid in how to train your dragon?
01:23Oh
01:26When it comes to Nico and Mason
01:29These two just sort of came alive in the room and suddenly I felt that they both embodied the core
01:35Character of hiccup and Astrid live in a way that nobody else could
01:42Gerard Butler is stoic
01:44He is the co-creator of the role to watch him step right out of the animated movie and here he is in front of you
01:51Stoic the vast it's such a treat to watch
01:54My hope is that those who had seen and loved the how to train your dragon films
02:00Will be keen to see what we've done because it comes from a place of love and it comes from a place of respect
02:07This whole thing is just one big giant adventure and I wake up every day feeling so thankful that I get to do it
02:16Welcome to
02:21You
