Troll Hunter remake coming
This film about “A group of students investigate a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.” is coming to VOD from Magnet Releasing May 6th. It’s a good foreign film, so in the tradition of Hollywood a US fuck-up…I mean remake of the film is in talks..
“There is a contract negotiation going on,” the director said enthusiastically. “But it’s taking months, just because of details in the contract. There should be an announcement within several weeks.” Based on his tone, it surprised me a little that Øvredal sounded all for this remake. As we know, some directors immediately scoff at the idea of their work being remade, especially when it’s a film that is just being released and hasn’t had a chance to connect with the audience on its own. “They have to make the announcement, but I am very proud that these people want to do the remake,” Øvredal said, referencing mysterious participants whose identities he wouldn’t divulge. “I’m very happy about it.”
I’m glad he’s happy about it. That makes one of us. Watch the original when it’s released on VOD in a little over a week.
