Dean Deblois, director of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’, clarified details about the creation of Banguela for Live-action
In Berk, battles between men and dragons are true traditions. However, Hiccup, the son of the people leader who inhabits this island, will conflict with local custom when making a surprising friendship with Banguela, the only living species of a fury of the night – this is the premise of “how to train the Your dragon “, a story that came up in theaters in 2010 as a namination, but will be released in live-action later this year.
In history, Banguela is the prince play for the mission that will prove that humans and dragons can live in harmony. He, who is all black and has large green eyes, is one of the most unforgettable figures of animation and due to its characteristics and importance for the plot, has become a real creative challenge for those involved in the project in which Dragons gain shape by CGI.
That’s because, Dean DebloisWho directed wrote the three animated films and retrines the franchise to the command of Live-action, said in an interview reverberated by the portal Omelete that Loyalty to the Banguela look became complicated when they tried to make it as realistic as possible.
“Our big challenge was to take dragons that people know about the animation movie, and to put them in a world where things are totally believed and photorealists. They needed to look believable when placed in a royal scenario with real humans. I didn’t want to look like Scooby-Doo, or something, ”he joked. “So it was really complicated to find this balance, especially with Banguela, because he is the most recognizable dragon.”
Among the characteristics that became the most difficult to adapt, is Baguela’s gaze. This is because, although there are no animals with eyes as large as his on earth, when they tried to diminish them for the feature film, the fidelity the Banguela image was lost, and he no longer seemed to be the best friend of soluto anymore .
For Baguela’s essence to be kept, another choice had to be made. “In the end, we had to increase our eyes back and adjust other things in his body, to make him look like a real animal, not a cartoon”, He explained Deblois.
“[Nesta versão de Banguela]You see your muscles moving under the skin, see all the texture and details and subtleties sculpted in the shapes… But from afar it still looks like the character you know, ”he added. “
Still, other dragons eventually allowed the team to put creativity into practice, as the director said they could be explored more of the references of the royal animals on which they are based. “So a dragon is more based on a walrus, another on a crocodile, another in a tropical bird like a parakeet… finally, in all cases there is a dominant animal.”
In the case of human characters, real actors were characterized through clothes, makeup and hair so that they could resemble the known figures in the animation.
In the cast are: Mason Thames (The black phone) and Nico Parker (The Last of Us) are sob and Astrid, Gerard Butler(300), is stoic, the father of Hiccup – actor who in the animated trilogy was also the voice actor of the character -, Nick Frost (Thick lead) emerges as a mouth, Julian Denisson (Deadpool 2) is ingerman leg, Gabriel Howell (Bodies) Lives melechento Jordenson, Harry Trevaldwyn (The bubble) is Thorston Head, BonyWin James (Wicked) is on the role of Thorston and Tiktoker head Ruth Codd It is a viking called Phlegma.
