Update: Rune emailed us with the following statement: “It’s actually a pretty complex animation job, where I’ve erased the characters from ESB and animated the Troll Hunter characters into the footage.”

The boys over at Twitch caught wind of a pretty incredible faux trailer that comes courtesy of one Rune Spaans, who is said to have access to the raw materials from Andre Ovredal’s Norweigian TrollHunter, which is now in theaters and VOD here in the States.

The teaser is for his Star Wars twist entitled The Troll Hunter Strikes Back and features the pinnacle scene where the troll protagonist learns that the “Troll Hunter” is his dad. The effects work is nothing short of spectacular. If only this could be a feature….

Watch it inside and then share your thoughts.

Sleepy Hollow movie

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
