Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire is an American-British-Romanian fantasy adventure film directed by Patrik Syversen.

It is the second direct-to-video prequel in the series, and it takes place about fifty years after the events of Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer's Curse.

Like it's predecessor, it will take place many years before the first film.

It was released on Netflix and DVD/Blu-Ray on June 13, 2017.


A dragon named Drago (voice of Patrick Stewart) must help choose a new ruler for his kingdom, while the potential heirs to the throne battle for supremacy. Directed by Patrik Syversen.


Development

A sequel was first hinted at by writer Matthew Feitshans soon after the video release of the series' third film in 2015.

The writer later confirmed his involvement in a fourth film on his twitter account, along with new director Patrik Syversen who will take over filming after Colin Teague declined to return

The budget is reportedly almost twice the size of the third film's following its surprise success.

Filming began in Romania on April 12th, 2016 at Corvin Castle in Hunedoara Romania and wrapped on May 6th with the rest of filming completed in late 2016.

A teaser featuring stock footage from the third film appeared on the home release of Warcraft.

Sequel

Matthew Feitshans, the writer of the third and fourth films, implied that work on a script for the fifth film has already begun, but no other information is known.

Just caught this on Netflix. It was a fun film to watch. Nothing earth shattering or Oscar worthy. Just an all around good fantasy romp. Has some good special effects and the most awesome dragon (Drago) whose voice is provided by Sir Patrick Stewart. I was pleasantly surprised that he was connected to this, the 4th in the series of the "DragonHeart" stories. If you want or need a diversion, I recommend watching◆◆◆♡♡♡
