It's also said that there are some innuendos and references that might be comical to Norwegians but that probably would not be understood by non-Norwegians. [32] When the film opened in the United States the following year, Deadline Hollywood announced that director Chris Columbus' company, 1492 Pictures, along with CJ Entertainment & Media, had acquired rights to remake the film. Thomas flees with the camera and is seen collapsing at the side of a road when the tape cuts out. It is written and directed by André Øvredal, and features a mixed cast of relatively unknown actors and well-known Norwegian comedians, including Otto Jespersen. Trollhunter (Trolljegeren) is a 2010 Norwegian movie. For example The Boy Who Had an Eating Match with a Troll when the camera man asks about an eating contest, and the Three Billy Goats Gruff when Hans attempts to lure a troll from under a bridge using three goats. What would be the general public's reaction to learning there are actual trolls out there, creatures which actively hate the scent of human blood, can grow to gigantic proportions and when exposed to sunlight turn to stone - and there's only one guy keeping them in check. The trolls are acting aggressively and have begun to leave their territories more often than usual, and Hans must get a troll blood sample to try to determine why.

Some viewers have suggested that, when the tales became prevalent, mostly everyone in Norway was Christian, so it's not a jab at Christianity but simply an archaic way of saying, "I smell a human." The look of the trolls in the film is also influenced by painters like Theodor Kittelsen and John Bauer. Others have suggested that, when Christianity was introduced to Scandinavian culture around the 12th century, it was as detrimental to troll culture as it was to fairy culture in Ireland, so any self-respecting troll would, of course, dislike Christians. even though the majority of Norwegians are members of the state church. The situation gets more tense as Kalle confesses that he is a Christian. [21], Other common troll descriptions from the Norwegian folklore which are used in the film include trolls having a tail, multiple heads, the ability to smell a Christian's blood, eating rocks, but loving meat and sometimes being man-eaters. The fairy tale Soria Moria Castle is one of the tales that tells about trolls being able to smell a Christian man's blood. He directs the others to find the highway. For example Boots Who Ate a Match With the Troll when the camera man asks about an eating contest, and the Three Billy Goats Gruff when Hans attempts to lure a troll from under a bridge using three goats.
