Stallo stretches the borders of reality. Sounds good to me, and that’s exactly why I’m here – to inform you that Swedish director Mikael Marcimain (Call Girl) will adapt Stefan Spjut‘s bestselling novel titled Stallo. Boring – you say? Well, wait ’till you hear that we’re actually talking about a people-eating creature novel!
At this moment not much is known about the whole thing except that Anna Croneman from Stockholm-based production company Bob Film is on board to produce the project. The good thing is that Marcimain plans to shoot the movie in 2014.
What also sounds interesting is that Spjut’s novel has already been compared with Let The Right One In, which means – expect to see everyday Sweden with supernatural elements.
No vampires or zombies this time, only stallos (human-like creatures who like to eat people)!
Here’s the official description of Stallo novel, hope you’ll like it:
Gunnar Myrén, a photographer, took a picture in the 80s during a flight over the Sarek national park. This picture never left him, and he still thinks about it; what was moving among the trees? He suspected that he had uncovered an ancient secret, that there hides creatures in the Swedish wilderness we can barely dream about.
Just as his grandfather, Susso Myrén is obsessed by and determined to find an explanation to the mysterious picture. When a child is abducted, she suspects that the one behind isn’t human, and she is pulled into a maelstrom of violence and horror in search for the truth, only to find out that she herself is the target.
Stay tuned for more updates, we’ll keep an eye on Marcimain’s work!
