And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician.

How To Train Your Dragon Trailer November 17, 2009
Posted by Helen in : Movies , add a commentFrom the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon”—a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell.
The story centers around a Viking teenager named Hiccup, who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life.
The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief…who just happens to be Hiccup’s father.
However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter.
But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.
The movie is released 31st March take a look at the trailer:
