This seems like one nutty project to me, but the idea of returning to the world of TROLL is one that Beuchler has been touting for years, so for his sake I’m glad to see it’s finally making some big progress. It’s her screenwriting debut and the start of a new film series with Warner Bros.
J.K. Rowling will appear in the August 2 premiere of Who Do You Think You Are? Still, the people working on the new ‘toon, which is aiming for a 2017 release date, are making absolutely sure that there can be no confusion, with some handy legal boilerplate: “Troll: The Rise Of Harry Potter, Jr. has not been prepared, approved or licensed by any entity that created or produced the J.K Rowling series of Harry Potter books or the Warner Bros. series of Harry Potter motion pictures”.
“The original Troll film has achieved cult status, and based upon its success we believed that the timing was right to produce an updated 3D animated version for a whole new generation of filmgoers”, Buechler said in a statement.
Plans are underway to lock in the remainder of the voice cast, and Davy noted producers are “already in pre-production”. “We have the financing in place and a strong worldwide distributor”.
The author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling is celebrating her 50th birthday today.
