In a special episode of the Film Stories podcast, Simon is joined by writer/director Dean DeBlois. He’s the co-writer and co-director of the original How To Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch films, and after writing and directing the second and third Dragon movies, he’s now done the same with the live action remake.

Why did he do it? We get into that, as well as live action films that he’s come close to making before. Plus, he talks about losing his father, Ireland, and what he’s up to next.

How To Train Your Dragon is in UK cinemas from 9th June 2025.
