If someone has planned to visit Trondheim in the next week, they must take into account that it will either be very difficult or even impossible. Difficulties will also affect residents and those who work in the area where the film will be shot. But for the fans Troll it can also be quite a treat.
How will the filming of Troll 2 affect life in Midtbyen?
Midtbyen is a district of the city of Trondheim in Trøndelag County.
As we read on the site Trondheim commune, from Monday, March 11 to Thursday, March 21, the filming of Troll 2 will cause some "disturbances" in Midtbyen. This applies primarily to road traffic and parking. There will also be lights, sound and smoke from vehicles and pyrotechnics in the area around Marinen.

Where will the photos be shot?
Much of the filming will take place near the Nidaros Cathedral, at the Elgeseter Bridge and in Marinen and Torvet.
– We can't wait to come to Trondheim. People need to prepare for the fact that things will be different in the city for a few days. This will be one of the largest film sets carried out in a Norwegian city, says Leo Resnes, location manager of Troll 2.
The Motion Blur film studio is responsible for the photos. The recordings were checked by the police and interested land owners, and agreements were concluded with Trondheim commune regarding the use of parking lots.
The Prinsens Gate and Elgeseter Bridge will be closed to motorized traffic for a period of time. Therefore, an alternative detour will be implemented. Some restrictions they will also appear when parking in areas where photos are taken. This applies in particular to Bispegata throughout the period and Munkegat on March 21.

It should also be noted that filming involves additional traffic and the use of equipment and vehicles, including a military helicopter. In addition, there will be actors in military uniforms and with visible imitation weapons, and pyrotechnic effects will be used, which are both visible and audible. There will also be strong Navy lighting and a spotlight on the Fortress that illuminates the Nidaros Cathedral.
