Netflix has greenlit Troll, a Norwegian monster flick from Tomb Raider and The Wave director Roar Uthaug, which is ready to debut in 2022. The movie, which is in accordance with the Scandinavian legend, tells the story of a huge creature that awakens after 1,000 years within the Norwegian mountains.
Mad as hell, the massive troll tears in the course of the countryside because it heads towards the Norwegian capital of Oslo. The movie, according to an original idea of Uthaug, can be produced by way of Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud of Motion Blur, the Norwegian company responsible for Netflix’s Cadaver.
Uthaug, who can’t wait to “unharness this Norwegian monster at the international,” says that he has been toying with the theory of Troll for over twenty years, adding that it’s a dream come true to in any case develop it with Netflix and Motion Blur.
Roar Uthaug has a reputation for making an impact on a budget. His leap forward horror film, Cold Prey, was once a field office hit in Norway and generated a number of sequels. With his 2015 disaster film The Wave, which envisions an enormous earthquake inflicting an enormous tsunami that ravages a small the city in a Norwegian fjord, he caught Hollywood's eye. After his luck with The Wave, he was recruited to direct Alicia Vikander in the 2018 Tomb Raider reboot for Warner Bros. and MGM.
David Kosse, VP of International Original Film at Netflix, says the streaming carrier is ecstatic to expand a venture of this scale with Uthaug and Motion Blur, adding that Uthaug is an excessively proficient filmmaker whose Norwegian roots will add authenticity to the film.
Producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud were excited to bring the Norwegian people story to life in a film "played, directed and produced by Norwegians for the global market." Netflix will liberate Troll worldwide in 2022. A free up date has yet to be introduced.
