One of the great schlock events of this year has been Best Worst Movie, a doc­u­men­tary that has enjoyed a suc­cess­ful screen­ing tour through­out the U.S.  For those who haven’t yet heard about it, it chron­i­cles the mak­ing of Troll II — widely con­sid­ered by bad-film fans to be one of the all-time great cin­ema dis­as­ters — and the unlikely but enthu­si­as­tic cult that his risen up around this film.  Those who haven’t seen it yet will be happy to learn that Best Worst Movie will be released to DVD in November.  Read on for all the schlock-doc details and be sure to visit the film’s offi­cial web­site for more screen­ing information…

“BEST WORST MOVIE” PARTNERS WITH NEW VIDEO FOR DVD AND DIGITAL RELEASE

Award-Winning, Critically-Acclaimed Documentary about the “Worst Movie Ever Made” Available on Multiple Distribution Platforms Beginning November 16

New York, NY – September 8, 2010 — How many peo­ple can claim they starred in the worst movie ever? Michael Paul Stephenson will for­ever be known as the scream­ing, whin­ing, ten year-old who saves his fam­ily by uri­nat­ing on their din­ner. Today, he is the direc­tor and pro­ducer of BEST WORST MOVIE, a critically-acclaimed doc­u­men­tary inspired by his role in what has been crowned the worst movie of all time: TROLL 2. New Video, a lead­ing inde­pen­dent film and TV dis­trib­u­tor, announced today that BEST WORST MOVIE will be avail­able on Tuesday, November 16, via DVD and dig­i­tal plat­forms. A film fes­ti­val favorite in 2009 and cur­rently play­ing in the­aters nation­wide, BEST WORST MOVIE will be released under New Video’s Docurama Films brand. In this hilar­i­ous and heart­felt story about the strange nature of celebrity, a sunny Alabama den­tist and a self-deluded Italian film­maker strug­gle to come to grips with their role in the worst movie ever made. The result is a ten­der off­beat jour­ney that pays homage to lovers of bad movies and the peo­ple who make them, while inves­ti­gat­ing a deeper story about the cathar­sis of redemp­tion and the human­ity that exists in mak­ing even the worst movie ever made.

The DVD includes more than an hour of deleted scenes and inter­views; fan con­tri­bu­tions, includ­ing music videos and mash-up trail­ers; Filmmaker Q&A with Creative Screenwriting Magazine, and a provoca­tive mes­sage from TROLL 2’s Goblin Queen, Deborah Reed.

The DVD and dig­i­tal release of BEST WORST MOVIE closely fol­lows the Blu-ray release of TROLL 2 in October from MGM.

BEST WORST MOVIE is writ­ten, directed and pro­duced by Michael Paul Stephenson; pro­duced by Lindsay Stephenson, Brad Klopman and Jim Klopman.
