A couple days back, we told you that Hollywood was planning a big budget remake of John Carl Buechler’s 1986 horror film TROLL. An official press release has been posted [via: BD].
Buechler has signed on to remake his cult classic film, which they hope will also launch a new animated television series and line of toys. The new film will likely be more family friendly, and done on a much larger scale with digital effects. The producers claim they are in talks with some “major A list talent”, and that director Buechler would also like to reunite the cast in cameo roles.
Remaking the film without the horror elements would be a huge mistake in my opinion. Read the full press release after the jump.
