TROLL BRIDGE is now submitting to film festivals worldwide.
An old barbarian and his talking horse, embark on a suicidal quest to battle a bridge troll.
15 years in the making TROLL BRIDGE is an ambitious odyssey of work in bringing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld to cinematic life.
-------------
TROLL BRIDGE exists because an awful lot of people around the world though it should.
Special thanks to The Pratchett Estate, Discworld.com, The Foundry, Shotgun Software, GarageFarm.NET Render Farm, Golaem, our 400+ volunteer pool, and over 2,000 backers. Every frame pressed with love – this is your production.
Help us get the word out - this bridge now ready for crossing!
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Having read none of the books, the trailer leaves me feeling rather meh. Having the troll not be a horrible monster I think I’d have rather not seen till the movie, but then again I’d rather have not seen that troll because that’s some dodgy cgi now days.

Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

I got nothing from this. It feels like it was made by people who read the books for people who read the books, and neither has any good idea how to introduce Pratchet to a new audience.
To make matters worse, the directing (or editing?) is just terrible. It's anything but invisible, getting in the way of the jokes and the drama. It looks like the film would be tedious if it's put together at all like that trailer.

Looking at the website and funding info, that's it to a tee. By fans, for fans. Fans are often not the best people to do stuff like this. Being a fan though, I'll probably not notice a lot of the gaps.
