The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Troll is a 2022 Norwegian epic monster film directed by Roar Uthaug, written by Espen Auken, and starring Ine Marie Wilmann, Kim Falck, Mads Sjøgård Pettersen, and Gard B. Eidsvold. It tells the story of a ragtag group of people who must come together to stop an ancient giant troll that was awakened in a Norwegian mountain and prevent it from wreaking havoc. Director Uthaug met with Motion Blur executives when his film Tomb Raider was near completion to discuss creating a film. He decided to utilize a Norwegian folklore-inspired idea that he had been pondering for over 20 years. The concept art of the titular monster attacking Oslo was released in March 2021. Principal photography began in August 2021 and wrapped in November, with location shooting taking place in Askim, Dovre, Indre Østfold, Lom, Øyer, Rena, and Ulsteinvik. Troll was released by Netflix on 1 December 2022, to generally positive reviews from critics. A sequel, Troll 2, was released in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
