Here’s your most anticipated movie of 2012:  Michael Stephenson was the child star of the 1990 horror picTroll 2, a movie so infamously bad, he used the experience to write and direct Best Worst Movie, about the film becoming a cult phenomenon. In a twist of fate, that documentary enabled Stephenson, 32, to line up financing for his first narrative feature, a dark comedy titled Destroy. In Destroy, vampires don’t exist, but that doesn’t stop a well-intentioned would-be vampire hunter from leaving a trail of blood-splattered wooden stakes across Bavaria. But while he thinks he’s saving the world, he is mistakenly murdering sweet, innocent old men. Stephenson is directing and producing with Lindsay Stephenson, via the duo’s Magic Stone Productions, as well as Jennifer Roth, one of the producers of Black Swan. The script was co-written by Zack Carlson, programmer of Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse Cinema; the two became friends when Troll 2 played at Drafthouse. Destroy will shoot in Eastern Europe and is in the early stages of casting. “I was embarrassed by this movie my whole life,” Stephenson says. “But now, a lot of good has come from being in one of the worst movies ever made.” Zack and co-writer Bryan Connolly have written a really amazing script here. It’s an honor to be bringing it to life. Keep your eyes open — we’ve got big plans for this one. via THR
