So I did a search for “Troll 2009″ recently on Google and noticed that this article is, at the time of my writing this addendum, number two on the search results, right below its IMDb page. This scared the hell out of me mainly because I had no actual information on this page. It was just me assuming the movie will suck based on the precedent the series has left, and don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s going to suck something fierce. Well, I have decided to put actual information about the movie I’ve scrounged up here to appease all the masochists out there who need to know about this movie so very badly. -Greg, March 2, 2008

Most of what I’ve been able to find out about this film comes from the Troll (1986) Wikipedia page, which is where the bulk of my “research” is done (sometimes IMDb too), but here you get my personal touch with it which I’m sure is what keeps you reading.

The remake is apparently being written/directed by it’s original director, John Carl Buechler, who besides having Troll (1986) to his credit has also directed several other horror movies, the most memorable of which being Friday the 13th VII, which I believe I have on VHS somewhere. He has also done the special effects for a number of other horror movies, my favorite of which being the Re-Animator, based on my favorite H.P. Lovecraft stories.

The main characters name is still going to be Harry Potter in the remake (as you should know Troll came out before a certain series of books) which can only lead to problems down the line. Somewhere, some unsuspecting child is going to watch this movie and get scared shitless (and somewhere else I’ll be laughing).

Now as far as casting is concerned I have no idea, because there is so little information about this movie online. I haven’t even found any mention of it on the director’s own site. Now, while I don’t know who’s going to be in it I can almost say for a fact that Julia Louis-Dreyfus won’t be in the movie because she’s a stuck up bitch, and Sonny Bono won’t be in it for obvious reasons.
