Exclusive: We hear that Evil Doghouse Studios has secured the rights to the popular Norwegian book series about eco-terrorist Rino Gulliksen written by author Lars Lenth.
Norwegian director Geir Henning Hopland and screenwriter Rolf-Magne Golten Andersen are attached to the project, which is currently in development as a scripted series.
