vredal pitches for slayer soccer momIt's quite normal for company directors of breakout worldwide hits to become attracted to Hollywood, and TrollHunter director Andre Øvredal may be the latest to become listed on the club. He's just signed on for Carpe Demon: The Adventures Of The Demon-Hunting Soccer Mother, modified in the book by Julie Kenner.First released in 2005, the novel may be the first inside a series (franchise!) about Kate Connor, a lady living a existence of suburban domesticity and seeking to place her secret past like a slayer of devils firmly behind her. With the exception that plan comes un-tied when underworld denizens start appearing in her own adopted home town of San Diablo.In a nutshell, it is a type of Buffy-as-grown-up affair: Whatever Happened To Buffy?, if you want. You will find five instalments up to now, with Carpe Demon being then California Demon, Devils Are Forever, Deja Demon and Demon Ex Machina.The script is as simple as Serta and Kevin Hagerman (Hotel Transylvania), but we are not hearing any start dates or potential cast. The privileges towards the book presently reside with Chris Columbus' 1492 production company, who're also planning the British-language TrollHunter remake. Coincidence? No.Øvredal has proven pretty effectively with TrollHunter he can juggle humour and horror effectively, so he appears just like a reasonable fit for that material. Let us hope he is not overpowered through the bigger budgets from the Hollywood machine.
