How to Train Your Dragon was one of the most critically acclaimed movies of 2010. Grossing 500 million world wide, its no surprise that Dreamworks Animation has got the creative team behind it back working on a sequel. The story will move beyond the small, North Sea island that was the setting of the original film as it traces the further adventures of Hiccup as he grows toward becoming the leader of his Viking clan.
Co-director of the first film Dean DeBlois, revealed he is currently working on the second draft of the screenplay, the second film in a trilogy. DeBlois, who will write and direct the sequel, talked to THR at Saturday's Annie Awards.
"I turned in the script before the holidays, and got some notes back and I'm working on a second draft. It's going to be quite epic. We are treating How To Train Your Dragon as the first act in a much larger story. As we head into this one, the world expands. Everything is much bigger with still the heartfelt qualities that made the first one resonate so much with audiences. There are no longer restrictions to this tiny island in the North Sea. They have the entire Northern hemisphere within their grasp."
He went on to say: "The only way of tracing the story is to draw on elements that were in the first movie and set up elements for a third movie, so it doesn't feel like a random adventure with the same five or six characters. This truly is a second chapter in a larger story."
