The summer of “Best Worst Movie”

By

After a big opening night screening at the 2009 Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, the documentary “Best Worst Movie” has moved up to theatrical screenings. Theaters around the country are showing the film in limited engagements through the summer.

The tour kicked off in April in Austin. While it isn’t scheduled to return to Alabama, it will screen July 23 at Atlanta’s Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.

The documentary catches up with the cast and crew of “Troll 2,” a horror movie many consider to be the worst movie ever released. The star of both movies is Alexander City dentist George Hardy. Birmingham brothers Alan and Hugh Hunter served as the doc’s executive producers.
