In the movie Trolljegeren (Trollhunter) at the end they include some footage from the norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, as he's talking about trolls. Is that new text that is dubbed over the scene or did he really said something like that?

I can't answer for sure, but my guess is that it's dubbed. The camera pans from Stoltenberg to another man, so his face is off screen and we cannot check his lips. Either ways, the other man's reaction looks genuine and is priceless! – Laurent Pireyn Dec 1 '11 at 19:46
Nice video you found of this. Thanks for inclusion. – Mnementh Dec 2 '11 at 19:10

As an norwegian I can confirm that this clip at the end is for real, and that all the text was from the pressfootage. Our prime minister was talking about some powerlines that caused a BIG debate here in Norway. The producers of the movie saw this pressfootage and thought it would go perfect with the movie, and asked our prime minister if they could use it. The man on the right is put in, and was not part of the real footage.

I learned the wrong languages so far. :-) In the article also is David Cameron mentioned with the movie "Attack the block". I didn't saw Cameron in the movie (but I could've missed it), what is said there about this? – Mnementh Dec 9 '11 at 16:07
Its a full paragraf talking about the "cameo" of the prime minister. Its about using the pressconferanse as a cameo. I saw the pressconferance live myself, and I must say, its a clever use of a somewhat dry primeminister talking about the powerlines nobody wanted to have. – WizardOz Dec 10 '11 at 8:24

The outtake used in the movie starts at about 41:30.
