I don't understand how an American remake would work unless it still took place in Spain/Greenland/Wherever it was filmed since there was the whole troll mythos thrown in there. Ah well, just slap a big 'ol DIRECTED BY MICHEAL BAY PRODUCED BY TIM BURTON on there and you're good to go.

Norway, you clod. The place from which all of the world's troll lore originated!
Even if the remake still took place in Norway, the actors would most likely be speaking English with a Norwegian accent, or something stupid like they're American tourists who just happen to be visiting the most miserable part of Norway where they're swept up in the Troll shenanigans.
That's exactly the kind of convoluted nonsense they would work in as a pitiful means to assuage that voice in the back of all our heads saying "this didn't need to be remade". By plugging in those shitty little changes, they can argue that it's
"a completely new spin on the classic* story!"
* According to Hollywood, "classic" can refer to anything made more than a year prior, so pretty much everything is a classic and is grounds for rebootin'
