TROLLHUNTER director André Øvredal will make his English-language debut with the supernatural thriller THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE, which will see Emile Hirsch and Brian Cox co-star, reports Deadline. “Brian and Emile are remarkably dynamic actors and will make a formidable pair. I feel so fortunate to be bringing this story to life with such brilliant performers,” says Øvredal. It's no doubt a solid pairing, but I'm more excited to see Øvredal's return behind the camera because he has an incredible vision, on that will hopefully shine under THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE.
