Helander, who also co-wrote the script, said : “Big Game is an action adventure story on an epic scale. I’m delighted to be taking this genre on as it has always been very close to my heart, as action-packed adventure stories contain the elements that I believe make movies that are worth watching.”

Big Game has already started filming. Jackson and Tommila recently spent 8 weeks in Bavaria filming some of the wilderness scenes. Backers of the film recently released a photo of Jackson and Tommila standing on a cliff.
