Del Toro's Tales of Arcadia finale will be an event film in 2021
Announced a few days ago, in time for the premier of the new animated series Wizards: Tales of Arcadia, DreamWorks Animation and Netflix talk about the grand finale.
And the grand finale will be a feature film: Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, with a title that takes us back to the first series, but which promises a summary of the three stories and its characters.
"Team Trollhunters committed, about a decade ago, to try and push the boundaries of 3D CGI animation made for TV. We made decisions from the get-go regarding every asset and every audiovisual decision. We outlined a vast trilogy of interconnecting mythology and characters that we always hoped could culminate with a massive all-stars reunion. Fortunately for us, DreamWorks Animation and Netflix both shared the very ambitious notion of doing the three series, interwoven and then finishing off with a bigger, epic-sized feature film to top it all off," said del Guillermo Del Toro. "We wanted the feature to improve and expand but to also deliver more scope, more spectacle - more emotion, too. We are very proud of the Tales of Arcadia and extremely eager to deliver this spectacular finale for the audience."
Del Toro, author of the original story, serves as executive producer on the film along with series collaborators Marc Guggenheim, Chad Hammes, Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman. Guggenheim and the Hagemans are the authors of the script of the film, while the direction are some of the veteran directors of the trilogy: Johane Matte, Francisco Ruiz Velasco and Andrew L. Schmidt.
Synopsis: Arcadia may look like an ordinary town, but it lies at the center of magical and mystical lines that makes it a nexus for many battles among otherworldly creatures including trolls, aliens and wizards. Now, the heroes from the hit series Trollhunters, 3Below and Wizards team-up in their most epic adventure yet where they must fight the Arcane Order for control over the magic that binds them all.
The complete trilogy is as follows:
- Trollhunters - 3 seasons, 52 episodes
- 3Below - 2 seasons, 26 episodes
- Wizards - 1 season, 10 episodes
Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans will premier on Netflix in 2021.
