DreamWorks to Revive Trolls on the Big Screen

Adam Wilson and Melanie Wilson LaBracio are on board to write the screenplay, and Dannie Festa of Festa Entertainment will executive produce.

"We are thrilled at the great creative possibilities we have in bringing the Trolls to family audiences around the world across a number of channels, including on the big screen," says Alex Schwartz, DreamWorks Animation's head of development. "We look forward to working alongside Dam Things to build on the mythology of the Good Luck Trolls while delivering the sense of adventure, heart and comedy that DreamWorks Animation is known for."

Dam Things is the worldwide licensor of the Good Luck Troll, which was first created in 1959 by Thomas Dam, Danish fisherman and woodcutter. The toy line became very popular in the 1960s and saw a resurgence in the 1990s.
