Nick Frost Joins Live-Action How to Train Your Dragon

Movies

A Hollywood Reporter exclusive reveals that Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) has joined the cast of the How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake. Gerard Butler is already set to reprise the role of Chief Stoick, and Nico Parker and Mason Thames will portray Astrid and Hiccup. Frost will play Gobber, a weaponsmith who trains the youth of Berk in combat and dragon hunting (and eventually dragon training). Craig Ferguson provided the voice of Gobber in the original movie. Dean DeBlois, co-director of the animated original, is returning to write and direct the remake.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I don’t care who they get for the remake of How to Train Your Dragon. It’s still a live-action remake of an amazing film that they probably can’t improve on. Even the pretty-good sequels can’t compare to the original movie.

But what do you think? Do you have high hopes for the How to Train Your Dragon remake? Sound off in the comments!
