Neil Marshall Tracks "Troll Hunter" Remake

"The Descent" director Neil Marshall will rewrite the script and direct the English-language remake of the 2010 Norwegian cult hit "Troll Hunter" says Deadline.

The original followed a group of students investigating a series of mysterious bear killings. They soon come upon a mysterious hunter, and learn the creatures responsible won't just confine their killing to that species.


Marshall will rework an earlier script draft by Marc Haimes. He'll also be on the hunt for a lead, with the intention of getting a big name star not normally associated with the genre.

Chris Columbus, Michael Barnathan, John Jacobsen and Sveinung Golimo are producing the redux.

Production is scheduled to begin in early 2014.

Before that, Marshall will head to Ireland to helm the biggest episode of the fourth season "Game of Thrones." The segment is said to be on the scale of Marshall's last episode for the series - the highly acclaimed "Blackwater".
