DreamWorks Animation has unveiled the first image from their upcoming project Trollhunters, their latest collaboration with Mexican film maker Guillermo del Toro. Since the announcement of this project, there’s been quite a lot of excitement that Guillermo del Toro, the man behind Blade II, Pacific Rim, Hellboy, will be coming up with this Netflix original series. Finally, we get to witness the first image of the series and it came out with the news that Guillermo del Toro will be taking a Masterclass at Annecy.
DreamWorks Trollhunters will unleash a new, fantastical world wrapped around the residents of the fictional suburb of Arcadia who make a startling discovery that the world beneath their hometown is as vast and mind blowing as anything on the surface. DreamWorks Trollhunters will bring viewers of all ages around the world into the rich and creative mind of Guillermo del Toro.
Guillermo del Toro’s work as a director, screenwriter, film maker, producer and author is incredibly extensive and varied, ranging from novels to comic books and television to imaginative feature films. Throughout his career, he has consistently had a strong connection and lifelong fascination with fantastical creatures and in DreamWorks Trollhunters we might get to witness vast and vibrant worlds with complex human and troll characters that create a cinematic television experience.
The series is based on the illustrated novel of the same name that del Toro penned with Daniel Kraus. Back in 2010, DreamWorks was planning to make Trollhunters into a 3D animated movie before shifting gears and teaming with Netflix for a series which will be debuting later this year.
