The film be the Oscar-winning director's live-action take on the best-selling graphic novel about a mysterious boy found and raised by Vikings, said The Hollywood Reporter.
"I have loved Thorgal since I was a teenager living in Brussels, where I stood in line for hours in front of a bookstore with hundreds of other fans whenever a new volume was published.
"It was always worth the wait. Jan Mojto and I have been trying to get the rights to Thorgal for almost a decade. We are thrilled that van Hamme, Rosinski and Le Lombard have decided to trust us with their greatest treasure and will strive to translate its full power to the screen. The stories are so good, though, that it's almost harder to get it wrong than to get it right," said Donnersmarck.
Thorgal grows to be a great warrior, using his skills to battle against powers greater than anything the Vikings could have imagined.
