Reinvent Yellow has been brought on board to handle international sales for “Rocky the Troll” and will release the film at AFM. It is produced by the team behind Trolls (2022), the most-watched non-English film on Netflix.
The family adventure revolves around 12-year-old Gaia. Gaia discovers that her great-grandfather’s collection of stones are troll eggs. When one of the eggs hatches, Gaia forms a magical bond and is immediately drawn into an exciting but dangerous adventure. Forces beyond her control threaten both her own world and the hidden presence of trolls.
Directed by Andrea Eckerbom, produced by Terje Stromstad, Christian Strand Sinkeld, and Espen Horn. Produced by Motion Blur with support from regional film fund FimInvest, the Norwegian Film Institute, SF Studios and REinvent.
“Rocky the Troll is a dream project for Reinvent Yellow,” said Rikke Ennis, Deputy CEO of Reinvent Yellow. “It’s as close as we can get to the iconic 80s family films we cherish, like ET and Gremlins.”Motionblur With the combination of great ambition and great execution, we have no doubt that this will be a huge hit. We are already seeing overwhelming international interest in this project.”
“We believe ‘Rocky the Troll’ is one of the most commercially promising family adventures in years,” said Helen Oro, chief commercial officer at Reinvent Yellow. “This production has all the ingredients for strong international sales and long-term audience appeal. Launching at AFM is a great opportunity to share our excitement with our global partners.”
