Reg Lenna To Show Film Wednesday

How to Train Your Dragon will be shown Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 2 p.m. at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts. The film is the live-action remake of the 2010 animated film. On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. How to Train Your Dragon is rated PG and is 125 minutes long. Upcoming Movies at The Reg include Tom Hiddleston in the Stephen King fantasy drama The Life of Chuck (Aug. 27 at 7 p.m.), James Gunn’s 2025 reboot of Superman (Sept. 10 at 7 p.m.), and the music documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley (Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.).
