Enormous being made into movie and tv series

The director behind the indie fake documentary, Trollhunter, Andre Ovredal, is teaming up with the producer of the movie Hitman, Adrian Askarieh, to make a monster movie.

[Trollhunter review]

They’ll be tackling and adapting the comic titled Enormous.  This comic is a story of an apocalyptic era of when an ecological event causes the creation of giant monsters that plague humanity.  (Always throw your trash away or recycle!!!)

But rather than just making a movie, Ovredal and Askarieh are looking to make a movie, a TV show and what’s called a high-end web series to support the story they plan to tell.

This will allow them to tell the story of several characters as they deal with surviving this newest version of our apocalypse.

I don’t normally write about every comic that might become a movie, but I’ve seen Trollhunter and I liked how it was put together on a shoestring budget of under a million bucks.  It had this, even-keeled, mellow energy to it that treated dealing with giant trolls like the documentary that was being filmed in the story of the movie.

'Trollhunter' movie review

Trollhunter is a fascinating, found-footage style Norwegian movie that focuses on a team of investigators that start looking into a series of strange bear deaths around their region.  They end up hooking up with a mysterious man who turns out to be a troll hunter.  And as it turns out, it’s not bear he’s hunting, but rather he’s investigating the cause of the bear deaths, or, the government hidden secret of trolls, in Norway.

Where they’re from in Trollhunter, trolls exist and the government keeps their existence under wraps. And these trolls are not the trolls from our fairy tales!  They’re very different and take a bit of getting used to, as throughout the movie, Hans explains to the film crew and movie viewer, the various types of trolls and why he’s on their trail.

Our main man that the investigative team is finally allowed to tag along with is Hans (Otto Jespersen) and he shows this team of young investigators an entirely new and very dangerous world that they had no clue exists.
