The Norwegian mockumentary THE TROLL HUNTER has seemingly garnered nothing but praise and appreciation from the folks who have seen it thus far. I’ve yet to witness it for myself, but that’ll change (hopefully) within the month, so I rather hope I’m as pleased with the enterprise as everyone else is…

Someone up on high has certainly given it the seal of approval: According to Screen Daily, TROLL HUNTER director André Øvredal is working with Hollywood bigshit Chris Columbus on ”a monster comedy in line with Gremlins and Men In Black”. Columbus evidently wants Øvredal to direct the feature, although at this moment it would appear as though nothing is official.
