Gerard Butler Confirmed For ‘How To Train Your Dragon 2′

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 06:10 PM PST



Back in October, DreamWorks Animation announced their intentions to produce a sequel to their hit animated title, How to Train Your Dragon. At that time, it was also revealed that the entire cast of the original movie -- including Jay Baruchel, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, and Kristen Wiig -- would be returning for How to Train Your Dragon 2 as well...except for one.

At that time it was unclear whether the biggest star on their roster, Gerard Butler, would be back or not. Now comes word that Mr. Butler has worked all of the dirty details out, and will indeed be back to voice the role of Stoick, the strong warrior father of Hiccup (Baruchel).

Speaking to Empire Magazine recently, Dean DeBlois, who co-directed the first film with Chris Sanders but will be writing and directing the sequel alone, confirmed that the entire cast would be returning, and that just a week prior he heard confirmation that the one final piece, Butler, was locked in officially.

Danzig Recording A Covers Album

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 08:05 AM PST

Glenn DanzigGlenn Danzig has announced that he is in the studio and currently recording a covers album. Fans of Danzig will know this project is one the artist has been talking about for some time, and five songs have already been recorded for the album. While Danzig hasn't released full details yet, it's understood that among the song selections will be tributes to Black Sabbath and Elvis Presley. While the Sabbath and Elvis selections, I believe, are somewhat "predictable" choices for Danzig (I imagine he'll probably throw a song by The Doors in there somewhere too), I would like to think he will choose some tracks that might be a surprise for his fans. I could imagine him doing an interesting interpretation of Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" or a classic rock song like "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. This is all just speculation on my part of course, but as a fan I'd like to see Danzig tackle some covers that are a little more unpredictable. Either way, it will be interesting to see what Glenn comes up with for this project...
