Reinvent Yellow to Sell ‘Rocky the Troll,’ Produced by Team Behind Netflix Hit ‘Troll’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Reinvent Yellow has come on board to handle international sales for the family adventure film “Rocky the Troll,” which will be launched at AFM. The film is produced by the team behind “Troll” (2022), the most watched non-English-language film on Netflix.
“Rocky the Troll” centers on 12-year-old Gaia, who discovers that her great-grandfather’s collection of rocks are actually troll eggs. When one of the eggs hatches, Gaia forms a magical bond that soon draws her into an exciting yet dangerous adventure. Forces beyond her control threaten both her own world and the trolls’ hidden existence.
The film is directed by Andrea Eckerbom and produced by Terje Strømstad, Kristian Strand Sinkerud, and Espen Horn. It is produced by Motion Blur, with support from the regional film fund FimInvest, the Norwegian Film Institute, SF Studios, and Reinvent Yellow.
Rikke Ennis, Deputy CEO of Reinvent Yellow, stated:
“‘Rocky the Troll’ is a dream project for Reinvent Yellow. It’s as close as you can get to the iconic family films we cherish from the eighties such as ‘E.T.’ and ‘Gremlins’. With Motion Blur and the ‘Troll’ team behind the film, we have no doubt that it will be a smashing hit, combining great ambition with excellent execution. We are already seeing overwhelming international interest in the project.”
Helene Aurø, Chief Sales Officer at Reinvent Yellow, added:
“We see ‘Rocky the Troll’ as one of the most commercially promising family adventures in years. It has all the ingredients for strong international sales and long-lasting audience appeal. Launching it at AFM is the perfect opportunity to share our excitement with global partners.”
