Neil Marshall to helm TROLL HUNTER Remake; and another Game of Thrones episode

The Norwegian film "Troll Hunter" which was directed by André Øvredal, was one of the most applauded foreign films to come out in 2010, and was released in the US with strong positive reception. Now, this monster movie is up for a remake with director Neil Marshall at the helm to direct it.  Production is looking to get underway in early 2014 while there’s still snow on the ground, which means that things are going to move very quickly on the project.  The original pic centered on a group of students investigating mysterious bear killings who come across a troll hunter and, subsequently, a giant troll. No release date has been marked as of yet. [hit the jump to continue]


On the other hand, Neil Marshall (who is also the director of The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Centurion, and Doomsday) is currently on the roll to direct another big episode of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. It will be the show’s biggest episode of season four, noting that it is on the scale of “Blackwater” (which is the ninth episode of the second season of Game of Thrones, that Marshall himself also directed). Marshall also directed the pilot for Starz’s pirate drama Black Sails, which premieres in January. Season four of Game of Thrones will likely begin airing March 2014.
