EMERGENCE: TROLL HUNTER's Andre Ovredal Takes The Helm Of Sci-Fi Thriller
Variety is reporting that Troll Hunter's Andre Ovredal will sit in the director's chair for the upcoming sci-fi thriller Emergence. The Norwegian director will helm the Australian;Irish co-production written by Rowan O'Neill and Jonathan auf der Heide (Van Diemen's Land). The original story was written by Chris Kunzmann and O'Neill,

The story follows a mining crew working on a distant moon that faces a frantic struggle for survival when a rogue terraforming organism is accidentally released on the surface, spreading like wildfire as it consumes anything in its path.

As humankind reaches further and further into space finding nasty things where we set our feet is all the rage. Space exploration never seems to end well for us. Recent films like the Aussie production Infini or 2013's Europa Report suggest that we are going to dig something up and get in over our heads all the time. It makes space exploration fun and exciting, if not a teeny weeny bit deadly. 

XYZ Films will be handling international sales the coming week at TIFF. So here comes that part where we remind you that ScreenAnarchy founder Todd Brown is a partner there and had no say in the writing of this article. Though he might have influenced might use of the words teeny and weeny for reason that only he and I know.
