If it's not the same music, it won't be the same

 





How to Train Your Dragon was a remarkably good animated movie, and the sequels were good too. One thing all three had in common, but especially the first one, was a superb heroic Viking-flavored score by John Powell. An Oscar-nominated score, and I have never thought highly of the winner that year for The Social Network (even if was composed by Trent Reznor). 

So now I read about a live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon. OK, I'll accept that they're going to do it, but if they don't get John Powell to adapt the score, it won't have that same feeling.


How to Train Your Dragon live-action reboot adds The Black Phone star Mason Thames and The Last of Us star Nico Parker as Hiccup and Astrid
