TROLL 2: PART 2. How does that sound to you? To me it sounds like a goddamned treat. If you’ve seen TROLL 2, you know that it’s a miracle of filmmaking: every single aspect of it is terrible. The acting, the make-up, the direction, the camera work – all fuse together in harmonious suckage. Those who lay eyes upon it never forget it… Hell, the movie is so notorious, there’s a documentary coming out called BEST WORST MOVIE, which follows the bewildered “stars” of the movie as they deal with the legion of fans this epic FAIL has ammassed over the years. (The doc is supposed to be VERY good by the way. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.)
But can it ever be topped? Director Claudio Fragasso thinks so. The man who made TROLL 2 (who is apparently convinced it’s not as bad as everyone says it is) is thinking about making a follow-up to one of cinema’s most beloved jokes. Michael Paul Stephenson – the lead in TROLL 2 and the director of BEST WORST MOVIE – recently spoke with Bloody Good Horror and told a very bizarre tale indeed.
He’s actually talking with producers right now. He wants to make a real “Troll 3.” When we were in LA, we were going back to Utah with him and he said “Okay Michael, when we’re in Utah we shoot a little promo for Troll 3. You run into McDonalds and grab a hamburger and scream, and we use it for promo.” So he’s thinking about it and he wants to do it.
Err… Sounds like a man with ideas. I guess. Add to that this fact: At the end of BEST WORST MOVIE, the credits claim Claudio Fragasso is working on a script for TROLL 2: PART 2.
Beautiful. If you’re completely unaware of what all the hoopla is about, watch the following scene. It will change you…
