Guillermo del Toro's TROLLHUNTERS: RISE OF THE TITANS Film Has Been Announced
The final Tales of Arcadia animated series from DreamWorks Animation and Guillermo del Toro, Wizards, debuted on Netflix today. With that came the announcement that there is feature film coming, titled Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, that will mark the culmination of Guillermo del Toro’s epic fantasy trilogy. The film is currently in production and it will premiere on Netflix in 2021.
This was a surprise announcement and Guillermo del Toro said in a statement:
“Team Trollhunters committed, about a decade ago, to try and push the boundaries of 3D CGI animation made for TV. We outlined a vast trilogy of interconnecting mythology and characters that we always hoped could culminate with a massive ‘all-stars’ reunion. DreamWorks Animation and Netflix both shared the very ambitious notion of doing the three series, interwoven and then finishing off with a bigger, epic-sized feature film to top it all off.”
This has been an enjoyable series to watch, and I couldn’t be happier to learn that they are going to top the trilogy series off with film! If you haven’t watched the shows, you should give it a go! Here’s the synopsis:
Arcadia may look like an ordinary town but it lies at the center of magical and mystical lines that makes it a nexus for many battles among otherworldly creatures including trolls, aliens and wizards. Now the heroes from the hit series Trollhunters, 3Below and Wizards, team-up in their most epic adventure yet where they must fight the Arcane Order for control over the magic that binds them all.
Created and executive produced by del Toro, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans is also executive produced by Marc Guggenheim, Chad Hammes, Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman. Johane Matte, Franisco Ruiz Velasco and Andrew L. Schmidt directed while Marc Guggenheim, Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman wrote the feature animated film.
