Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to director Dean DeBlois about his new film How To Train Your Dragon.
From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise.
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) 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.
With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.
As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

On this bumper episode for Wes Anderson's new film, our interviewers Lucy Fenwick Elliott, Lara Peters and Elena Lazic speak to the cast of The Phoenician Scheme: Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Mia Threapleton and Richard Ayoade.
The inimitable Wes Anderson returns with The Phoenician Scheme, a story of a family – and a family business.
Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio Del Toro) is a roguish millionaire businessman, survivor of six plane crashes and father of nine sons, and – crucially – one daughter, a nun called Liesel (Mia Threapleton).
The two reunite when Liesel is, against all odds, named sole heir to his estate. But as Korda embarks on a new, ambitious enterprise, they quickly become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins.

Lara Peters speaks to director Christopher McQuarrie about the latest (and final?) installment in the Mission: Impossible series, starring Tom Cruise.
Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which sees the agent and his team embark on perhaps their most dangerous mission yet.
Following Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’s soaring finale, the IMF remain on the trail of the malevolent artificial intelligence known as ‘The Entity’, housed inside a sunken next-generation Russian submarine. Their only hope lies in trusting Hunt, one final time, to destroy it for good.
