Did you think I was talking about THE Harry Potter? Maybe I am... it depends how you look at it. Today we learned exclusively the first official casting news for John Carl Buechler's remake of Troll, which we broke the news on here a few weeks ago. Inside you'll find all the details on Buechler's film, which is will write and direct once again.
It was revealed to B-D this evening that Noah Hathaway has just been signed to play a role in the big budget remake of the 1986 cult classic film; TROLL.
Filmgoers will remember Noah Hathaway (Never Ending Story, Battlestar Gallactica) as the child star who portrayed the original HARRY POTTER in the 1986 film TROLL, where his adventures led him into a parallel world of witches, evil wizards, and magic, a decade before the first J.K.Rowling’s book was written and published.
Hathaway, now in his 30’s will obviously not reprise his role as the original HARRY POTTER in the new film as the producers will conduct an international search for the new young hero in the remake.
“Noah’s matured into a fine young actor with an interesting intensity, and we are proud to have him on board,” writer/director John Carl Buechler tells B-D.
While producers are seeking “A” list stars for the lead roles in the film, Buechler seeks to unite more of his original cast.
The film is about a young boy enters a parallel world of wizards and magic where he befriends a good witch. Soon the boy learns that he must save the world from an evil Troll/Wizard that has the ability to hide his essence within the bodies of others.
I'm very excited about the remake. I believe TROLL and the Harry Potter character should be brought back to life by its original creator - John Carl Buechler - People have commented negatively regarding the delay in remaking the film – even so far as to say it would not have been done if JK Rowlings had not been a success with her “version” of the Harry Potter character; fact is, he is simply a man who believes in taking care of his personal life first. He should be commended for the sacrifices he's made for his family over these past few years. Now that he's in a better place to continue on with his dreams of the Harry Potter universe, I can't wait to see where his imagination takes us.
Auditions are currently taking place for shooting scheduled to begin in August. Newcomer and extremely talented young actor Chad Anderson is among those who have auditioned for the role of Harry Potter, Jr. If chosen, Chad will really bring the character to life.
When i heard they were remaking the TROLL i thought it was a great idea. I can't wait to see it. Carl Buechler couldnt have picked a better producer than Peter Davy to do the remake, with the two of them as a team, it can't miss! Just imagine what they'll be able to to with the remake, with all the special effects and technology that weren't available in 1986 when the Troll and Harry Potter first came to life!! The possibilities are endless and i cant wait!!
