Nordling here.
Everyone who's frequented the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin knows Zach Carlson, who does his Terror Tuesday every, well, Tuesday, is a co-editor of DESTROY ALL MOVIES with Bryan Connolly, and probably most well known of all, was featured in the documentary BEST WORST MOVIE. That doc was about the cult following and making of one of the legitimately worst films ever made, TROLL 2. Michael Stephenson, who was the child actor of TROLL 2, also directed BEST WORST MOVIE, and apparently he and Zack got along well enough to co-write a script together called DESTROY.
DESTROY is a black comedy about a vampire hunter who haunts Bavaria, except the "vampires" he kills are really just innocent old people. Sounds perfect for Zack and Michael, and it's gotten the attention of BLACK SWAN producer Jennifer Roth, who is co-producing the film with Michael and his wife Lindsay, according to Hollywood Reporter. Michael Stephenson will also direct. To quote him, "I was embarrassed by (TROLL 2) my whole life. But now, a lot of good has come from being in one of the worst movies ever made."
I don't know Zack personally, just in the few run-ins I've had with him at Terror Tuesday and Cinemapocalypse. But he's a very funny guy and I'm very happy to see this project happen.. Congratulations to him and Michael Stephenson. Can't wait to see it.
Nordling, out.
