Michael Stephenson is the director of Best Worst Movie, a documentary film about the making of the film Troll 2, which he was also the star of.

In a recent interview with Collider he talked a little about the oft rumored Troll 3 – or ‘Troll 2: 2’ as it should probably be called, seeing as how ‘Troll 2’ has no real connection with Troll, beyond the name.

Claudio Fragasso – the original Troll 2 director – has a script and is working with Italian producers in getting it financed. Plus they want all the original cast. This has apparently put Stephenson in a dilemma, as he says…

If someone writes a check and says, “Make this movie”, it’ll happen.  If Claudio was able to get Troll 2 made, I have every reason to believe he can make this happen, too.  I can absolutely understand why someone would be like, “Naturally!  Let’s make a sequel!”  But two, do I think it’s right to make a sequel?  No.  My feeling right now is, anything in addition to what he made is unnecessary.  I just don’t see…I guess my question is, why?

In other Troll news: John Carl Buechler – director of the original 1986 ‘Troll’ film – is set to remake Troll with a planned 2012 release date. It’s rumored it will star Harrison Bliss and Ali Lohan.
