(Edited by Fifi - this is the audio for part of the interview below  cinemovie.tv/Interviews/gerard-butler-interview-emotional-scene-hits-home-for-how-to-train-your-dragon-2-star Thanks Lily) SHELLIE!!  collider.com/how-to-train-your-dragon-2-kit-harington-interview/"Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, Djimon Hounsou, and Kit Harington Talk HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2, Being Part of a Popular Franchise, and Future Projects"(extract) Gerard, how has Stoick changed since the first film, five years ago?
GERARD BUTLER: At the beginning of the movie, you meet a Stoick who’s much more relaxed and having fun. The pressure is off. There’s not a constant war with the dragons. And his son’s doing great. He’s not the weird, effeminate boy that he was. It’s a different world, full of fun and adventure. But his time is coming to an end, so Stoick wants to pass on the mantle to Hiccup. It’s time for Hiccup to not just show he can slay dragons, which he’s done, but also show he can be a leader. Gerard, what do you think the relationship between Stoick and Hiccup teaches audiences about fatherhood?BUTLER: I think that Stoick wants to teach Hiccup that there’s a time for fun and games. Hiccup has proved himself. Stoick picks up that there’s a different way to deal with challenges, that the younger generation can actually show the older generation. At the same time, he’s now off adventuring and he has different views about how to deal with these new challenges. Stoick is trying to teach Hiccup about a different type of responsibility, where it’s not just about how you would like to deal with something, but thinking about the other people around you, as well. He has the future of other people to consider. He can’t just deal with it always in his own headstrong way. But, that’s Stoick’s own headstrong opinion about how he should do it. He’s not always right in those situations, either. What’s important is that you just see the love that he has for his boy, and the love that everybody has for everybody in this movie. They might not always agree or see eye-to-eye, but everybody really wants the best for each other, except for Drago Bludvist. How do you view the relationship between Stoick and Valka?BUTLER: In actual fact, it’s one of the reasons I think people are getting so much out of the movie. Visually, it’s incredible, but it’s the story itself. And it goes to deeper and darker places than most animated movies would dare to go. It addresses separation and abandonment. In a way, Valka abandoned her child. She’s apologetic about it, and she had a deeper cause that she wanted to fight for, but she could have returned, or even checked up on him to see how he was doing. She never did. There was always this part of me where I wanted to say, “Where were you?! What the hell?! Not even a hello?! I’m making helmets out of your breastplate, and you’re having a blast tickling dragons under the chin!” But, it’s so emotional. And by the way, I’ve gotta tell you, I didn’t see my father for 14 years. I didn’t even know he was alive. And then, he turned up, out of the blue. Just before, I went to my mum and said, “I’m never gonna see my dad again, am I?,” and she said, “No, I don’t think so.” And then, I came home one night and my stepfather said, “Keep your jacket on. You’re going to town. Your dad’s here.” I had to go into this restaurant and walk around, going from table to table, literally looking at men and going, “Is that my dad? Is that my dad? Is that my dad?” And he finally stood up, and he was the weirdest looking guy in the restaurant. So, that part of the movie was quite profound for me. To be honest, not just for me, but it’s profound for a lot of people to imagine a parent that you didn’t think was there, or the love of your life that you thought was gone, is actually alive and well, and there’s a chance to rekindle everything that you thought was lost in your life. What was it like to go back into the recording booth, the second time around, and did you get to meet Cate Blanchett, at all?BUTLER: Well, I’ve met Cate before, but I never met her on this movie. I want to say that we did all of our scenes together and they were magical, but that’s not true. Craig and I recorded together in the first one, and I wish that we could do that more. There was one day that we had with Jay [Baruchel], and we had a blast. But with this movie, we didn’t get a chance. It was fine. You know who you are, you know the voice, and you know the guy. You can throw out extra things a little bit more, and you can play with it more. What’s cool about the movie is that it’s a progression. There’s already a momentum from the first one that can kill you, if you don’t live up to that. But if you get it right and put a lot of thought into where you can take those characters, than that momentum becomes something really powerful. And that’s what they did with this movie. We had a chance to go richer and deeper into a really cool story. How surprised were you by the success of the first film, worldwide, and what was your impression of the final product for the sequel?(........) BUTLER: I’ve gotta tell you, the first one is one of my favorite movies, ever. I just was so blown away with it, and all the more so because most of the stuff that made it incredible, I had nothing to do with. When I went to see the movie, I was like, “What did they do with this thing?!” It was amazing! The movie actually opened not very well, but then ended up doing 10 or 15 times what it did opening weekend, when most movies only do three times. That’s a testament to how phenomenal it was. And then, because I’m a worrier, I just worried, once we were making the second, about how it was possibly going to live up to that, but they constantly surprised us. I think the second one is even better. It pushes the limits and stakes, in so many ways. The animation has come along so much, and they’ve made absolute beautiful use of that to make this visually exhilarating ride that you go on, and yet never shied away from bringing up darker issues and keeping it really exciting and emotional. I was just blown away. I’ve now seen it with two audiences, and it’s great to watch with an audience because they get so into it, with everybody crying or cheering. I’m very proud to be a part of it. What are you guys going to be doing next?BUTLER: I just finished a movie two days ago, called Gods of Egypt, which is a huge, big Avatar meets The Lord of the Rings style movie. I’m playing the villain, the God Set. It’s cool. I kill my brother, who in Egyptian mythology was probably my sister or my lover, as well. I kill my father, I kill my wife, and then I kill pretty much everybody else. That was fun to play. And it’s a really magical world, as well. And then, I’m doing the sequel London Has Fallen. And I’m doing a Dean Devlin movie, Geostorm, which is a huge, epic movie about building a whole system of satellites around the planet because of global warming. I’m excited about that one, too. So, I have a few movies coming up. Read more Full interview at : collider.com/how-to-train-your-dragon-2-kit-harington-interview/#sxyEhb4vZxJg5dY6.99 |

Love the photos and the intereviews too. I've read about Set on wikipedia. Set was clearly bonkers and had family issues.
