Today, Park City Utah.E’1 1989, the first article was written is not satisfied with the success of the intention of shooting the film’s 100-year-old scenario. What is it intentional?, Comics and horror of life in the ironic way, unconsciously comical flaws or defects that do not understand the fanatical vegetarian and demential. Why, ‘is, is to understand the irony of the original cartoon. Probably, ‘it is difficult for Americans to understand the irony of Europe. I do not know. This is not true Troll2 movie, the Goblin, the Goblin is the title of the script. I, MGM U.S., Troll2 I can not change the title of director of the film.

Also, Eric’s the man. You guys should see him down here at SXSW getting all the “Oh, I know that site!” and “I love your stuff!” and “Idiot. Four Seasons is RIGHT NEXT TO WEINBERG’S HOTEL, WHICH YOU WERE AT FIVE TIMES.”

Pulling out my Urim and Thummim, I’ve attempted to correct this to what *I think* she was trying to say. It would be interesting to get her Italian original and make a real translation. I’ve interspersed a few interpretive notes in brackets:

———————————————————————————————-

I am very happy for the unintentional event that this old film was shot in 1989 in Park City, Utah. [*Per IMDB, it was shot in Porterville, UT.] It was one of the first stories that I had written; today I’m up to 100 scripts.

I do not understand why a zany and deliberately ironic horror comedy on the meaning of life and against fanatical vegetarians, is considered a mistake, flawed, and unintentionally funny. (People) do not understand that the idea was intended to be a comedic and ironic story. Perhaps it’s because European irony is difficult for Americans to understand. I do not know.

The title Troll2 is not correct. The real title of the film is Goblin, and the title of the script is Goblin. The title was changed to Troll2 by MGM America, not by me, nor even by the film’s director. MGM America claimed that Troll2 was the sequel of Troll, but it wasn’t. I have never seen that film and I do not know it.

I sold my story to Eduard Serlui for the film company “Eureka”. Serlui decided to make the film with the Italian company “Filmirage”, as executive producer. I hope that at last the truth may be known. You would not have known this.

The actors of the film Troll2 (Goblin) were not actors. They were chosen in Park City; none of them were true professional actors. The director, Claudio Fragasso, asked them to recite in that funny “comic strip” way, in order to make the audience laugh. Troll2 is a fable for children — a crazy, rather funny horror story.

So that nothing would cause the film to be prohibited or censored, I replaced blood with the chlorophyll, using the green color of the goblin (North European Celtic legend), and made the monsters vegetarians, health nuts, fanatics of macrobiotic food. I treated the goblin like a vampire, using hamburger meat (a typical American food) in place of holy water. The bologna of the famous “bologna sandwich”, whose real name is mortadella, was a [nod?] to my Italian identity, a way to laugh at ourselves, but you would not have known this. [*I think she meant that this was a linguistic in-joke, since mortadella, the Italian word for bologna, is reminiscent of "morte della…." ("death of the …").]

I am very happy that such a little film, shot in just 4 weeks, which only cost 50 or 60 million old Italian lire, in 1989, is a phenomenon today. [* This was about $42K-$50K at the time or $66K-$80K now.]

I am also happy that the cast of the actors, particularly Michael and George, do business today on basis of the production, and that a former child actor of Goblin is the director of the documentary, thanks to my little story and the personages and food I invented.
