I’m not the type to make clickbait thumbnails about how upcoming movies are “DOOMED” when I know almost nothing about them, and I’m not here to complain about the casting or insult the filmmakers. I’m just presenting the information from the sources in their own words while begging the question: how will they sound? Which of the three suggested accent options should they go for?
Gosh. When she said its not going to be exactly like the animated one, that got me worried. I just hope they don't screw up the story too much, which I'm sure they will in a way. I'm most worried about how the dragons will look, though I am excited for the music as John Powell will still be doing it, as long its the same themes, which I expect the they will be.
I honestly HOPE it's gonna be different. Because we already have the originals for those stories. I think they picked a pretty cool cast and I can't say I'm exactly excited, but at least curious about this project. There are many opportunities they could do with a different take on this setting and I hope they use them well.
This was a really concise breakdown of accents in film! I think sometimes a film can be ruined by an actor not using their native accent but that’s just my opinion. It will be interesting to see what they choose either way.
@@FilmScoreandMore I also think the diverse cast is going to differentiate the remake from the original anyway. As in, people already have an issue with that so even if the accents were accurate, I can’t see it changing people’s minds. And like you pointed out, the accents weren’t consistent in the original film yet people adore it. I don’t think they suddenly need to correct that in the remake.
Unfortunately that seems impossible. It’s still a remake. So it seems like it will be trapped in this middle ground between new and old that I’m not sure anyone will be happy with.
@FilmScoreandMore It's a remake but the characters don't have to have the exact same personality. And to be honest they can't. If they remade the film scene for scene it will look so stupid.
@deltaechomusicnh555 They could easily adapt the same character traits to the live action characters without it becoming cartoony. In fact, shouldn’t they?
Wait Wait Wait ”move away from twins stereotype” HUH? Did they not understand THEIR WHOLE POINT OF BEING SO ALIKE? Rufnut and Tufnut are so alike that people think they are one egg twins. That people think Rufnut is a guy if they don’t know she’s a girl. She’s in my opinion a good feminist Icon. You don’t have to act or look feminine to be a woman/girl. She’s such an inspiration just like Astrid. Why do they want to get rid of it?
I think the approach with actors having their natural accents is best, HTTYD vikings are more of the fictional vague viking kind than historically inspired, maybe it would be somewhat more in line with their intent to not follow the original scenario to the letter.
I kinda don't get not doing the twins looking the same. Kinda the point was that they looked so similar you couldn't tell who was the boy and who was the girl. But whatever, we'll see what they do instead
@@FilmScoreandMorebut they can’t be indentical twins. One egg twins has the same DNA and CAN’T be diffrent gender. They are 2 egg twins. That why they made the twins so alike so people think they are one egg twins just by looking and not know one is a girl and one is a boy. Rufnut gives a powerfull symbol of ”you don’t have to look or act feminine to be a woman. She is herself, women is just her gender” in the show if people don’t know Rufnut is a girl they probably whould asume the feminine stereotype of what a girl is. Rufnut is such an feminist Icon.
@@loka-chan6695I don't think they made them so alike for the reason you think. Treating twins as a package deal is commonplace in Western media. Like Phil and Lil from "Rugrats." Both sets of twins are hard to tell apart and have similar personalities.
I don’t think the music in the live action will be bad in my opinion it’s more of the story and how it’s gonna be told I mean when it comes to most live action films the music usually is less criticized and usually everyone loves to make fun of the story changes ,
Awesome video ❤ I’m a little worried about a live action of HTTYD but I know I won’t be disappointed by Powell’s soundtrack, the dragons, and the scenery. And happy Chinese new year of the dragon 🐉 🎉 In terms of accents, umm… how do I put it? I usually watch movies dubbed in Russian 😂 It makes it easier for my brain to process one language than English with many accents if that makes sense.
In the German dubbing they gave everyone a high German accent, so basically just normal German, while only Stoick and Gobber speak with a frisian accent, which is what the people living by the North Sea sound like (the dialect would be called low German, apparently, I only used Google translate), so they sound like stereotypical sailors.
@ViktoriousFlutes Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that! And I’m sure that helps you to understand and make connections, plus to appreciate the subtleties in each version.
I do find it funny, where people compain about ethnicity but the franchise has never been accurate on that front, especially with the accents. Somehow people forget this is a fantasy film so at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Honeslty at this point I'm kinda interested where they plan on changing it from the original, weather its good or not we'll have to wait.
Right because all the way in the northern Scandinavian viking islands you’ll find dark skin people. Give me a break. It’s not convincing storytelling. I wouldn’t want to see a light skinned person in a film about an indigenous tribe deep in Africa unless they had a good reason to explain why.
@SaltyGamer777 I used it my last video too. I already had the track in the video editor to refer to a couple uses of Fun Viking Tune, so I just used the strings riff for background music. Again, I should probably find a more secure way of doing background music.
Just sharing my two cents- I appreciate that Astrid's actress didn't do the whole 'this is for a new generation' spiel in the interview, acting like this is gonna be the definitive version of the story. She acknowledges the originals exist and they still matter to a whole lot of us even if we don't like this one. Personally a breath of fresh air compared ALOT other remake cast members...
There's still so little we know. I'm expecting there to be more direct information once the trailer releases, which obviously won't be for a long time. But I just don't know how they're going to handle this.
I don’t know about people but I know one egg twins pair and one 2 egg twins pair. One egg twins are one egg split in two. Which makes them same sex cos they have same DNA. They look very similar but If you know them you can easy see the diffrence. The two egg twins I know are diffrent gender, boy is red haired and girl is blonde. The master piece of the TWO egg twins Rufnut and Tufnut is that they are so alike people think they are one egg twins. Looks and cos Rufnut’s ”not so feminine” personality makes this case more belivable at first sight of them thinking they are one egg twins. Rufnut breaks the Female stereotype of being and looking not feminine. Rufnut and Astrid is such a good feminst/female icons in their own way. Astrid may look feminine but she’s strong and independent. Rufnut looks and ”acts” more like a boy stereotype but that dosn’t make her man! She’s a woman!
@@FilmScoreandMore I don’t think you get it dude it’s a fictional island with dragons. Also in the tv show race to the edge they did introduce new races
@ladraff9702 I’m talking about just the village. The villagers should all have the same accent if they don’t do the generational shift in accents like in the original.
This movie will be bad. I am sure that Dean DeBlois was forced into directing and writing this. And John Powell probably just did it so he can ensure the music will be good.
I think Nico Parker is a good actor but she dosnt look like Astrid, the twins are parallels they are identical twins, Its a remake not a remaster, if they want to avoid stereotypes make a new viking film, but they should be trying to make the movies again just in Live action, stop ruining something so great (you tried making something new with the 9 realms it didn't work, learn when to end a good thing, please Dreamworks

They literally should have gone the same route that Netflix did when casting the actors and actresses for the live action avatar the last airbender series. The ages were spot on, the ethnicity was important for them, they sound a bit like their animated counterparts and every single one of the cast members have seen the animated shows a lot, and when you hear them talking in their interviews now you can tell that they naturally are their characters with how much passionate they have for the original source material something that I think this cast is very lacking off.

As long as I get to hear John Powell, I'm happy.
You will. And you already can.
We don't have to question Butler.
He probably already knows his character.

That’s what she says at least.

Also, is that "New New Tail" I hear? 🤔
Glad you liked it! And yes, I'm still toying around with background music. It's probably not the best solution, but it seems to work (so far).

I'm going to be in Belfast next week, will they still be filming there?
Most likely. Some of the cast and crew have been posting updates on Instagram.
Man this film has no shot at being a compliment to the original
There's still so little we know. I'm expecting there to be more direct information once the trailer releases, which obviously won't be for a long time.
But I just don't know how they're going to handle this.
Maybe. It certainly won't be comparable based on looks. They'll have to nail the story and characters.
Astrid can just get a wig. Why dose the twins look so diffrent? The guy looks kinda alike but she’s so diffrent from her character.
Nico Parker is using her natural hair, braided. Not a wig.
I don’t know about people but I know one egg twins pair and one 2 egg twins pair. One egg twins are one egg split in two. Which makes them same sex cos they have same DNA.

I know Ruffnut is female. Not sure how they're going to handle the twins. It is odd they don't look alike since they absolutely can.
Why didn't they get same actor who voiced hiccup to play hiccup!!!
He doesn’t look or sound like a fifteen-year-old. Besides, they almost always recast for remakes. It’s unusual that they got Gerard Butler back.
Why not blend mostly Irish, scotish, brittish cos those places where Vikings too or was owned by Danish Vikings.
That would make sense.
Honestly I don’t really care how they sound in the flim just as long as the movie will be awesome
I won’t be able to take anyone seriously if they actually go all in with fake Scottish accents.
Or they go full on game of thrones route and have all kinds of accents and all kinds of people

@FilmScoreandMore I think yes to a degree, some changes are okay, but the characters and key plot aspects need to be the same for a remake
Why should they remake them?
If the twins were identical, they would have been born the same gender. Twins born of two separate genders are automatically fraternal.
