The project marks DeBlois live-action feature debut, having previously worked on the three How To Train Your Dragon movies and Lilo & Stitch.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that How to Train Your Dragon writer/director Dean DeBlois will write and direct the long in-development Micronauts movie for Paramount.
Micronauts was originally dated for a October 16, 2020 release but will now bow in theaters on June 4, 2021, opening against Warner Bros.’
It remains to be seen if those plans remain for the series, but there was no mention of it in the trade’s story.
