How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch director Dean DeBlois will make his live-action feature debut writing and directing a Micronauts movie that is scheduled to be released in Summer 2021.
The Hollywood Reporter says the movie will be released through Paramount Pictures and Hasbro’s AllSpark Pictures. DeBlois has professionally directed a live-action music documentary and short film but never a live-action narrative movie.
His last ten years have almost exclusively been writing and directing the How to Train Your Dragon movies for DreamWorks Animation, which is one of the highest-grossing movie trilogies in history. The last film, How to Train your Dragon: The Hidden World, was released in February 2019 and made half a billion dollars at the box office and received positive reviews from critics.
