After it got a rousing reception at the recent Fantastic Fest, it’s no surprise that the Norwegian mockumentary THE TROLL HUNTER is coming to America, courtesy of Magnolia’s genre-friendly label Magnet (MONSTERS, CENTURION).

Filmmaker André Ovredal’s vérité style movie follows “a group of Norwegian film students that set out to capture real-life trolls on camera after learning their existence has been covered up for years by a government conspiracy.”

THE TROLL HUNTER is one hell of a ride, with trolls the size of King Kong,” said Magnet SVP Tom Quinn. “André Ovredal has created a one-of-a-kind creature feature that’s sure to entertain and wow audiences all over the world. We’re extremely proud to add it to the Magnet slate.

The movie will hit theaters (and VOD) some time in 2011. Check out the trailer below.
