PROJECT DETAILS:

According to original Troll Hunter writer/director, Andre Øvredal, the studio is no longer pursuing a remake. Apparently after the remake was announced and Neil Marshall was set to helm, his schedule got incredibly busy, mostly with episodes of HBO's Game of Thrones, so it caused a delay in production. Now it appears that the remake rights have reverted back to Øvredal. He confirms all this in a recent interview, saying: "[The movie] is not going anymore. We [Øvredal and the Norwegian producers] got the rights back, and I don’t think they will be pursuing another remake.” Adding... "I was very happy with what I read; I never communicated with anybody about it, but I read on-line that Neil Marshall was attached to direct it, and I was like, ‘OK, I can get behind that,’ and then suddenly it didn’t happen. I believe that just after signing up for Troll Hunter, Neil got too busy with Game of Thrones, and that’s what stopped it; that seems to be the case, anyway, and then it just kind of died.

Filming was originally aimed to start sometime in early 2014.

Director Neil Marshall also helmed Dog Soldiers and The Descent.

Budgeted at an estimated $25-million.

One of the producers was quoted saying: "Troll Hunter was a visceral, thrilling, cinematic rock and roller coaster ride of a movie. Visually, there are scenes in this film that American audiences have never seen. We want to introduce an international audience to this amazing moviegoing experience."

A remake of the 2010 Norwegian film with the same name.
