Remarkableriots Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 https://screenrant.com/toxic-avenger-movie-reboot-legendary/#leave-comment Quote As announced in an official release from Legendary, the studio will be attempting to bring one of Troma's most successful properties equally into the mainstream. The Toxic Avenger tells the story of Melvin Ferd, a 98-pound janitor who, after falling into a drum of toxic waste, is transformed into a deformed and hulking beast. Adopting the name Toxic Avenger (or Toxie for short) Melvin uses his new-found strength for good, choosing to combat crime in his neighborhood. Having acquired the rights to the franchise, Legendary is already moving forward with production. As of yet, there is no word on who will write and/or direct the film, but both Kaufman and co-founder Michael Herz will serve as producers. Alex Garcia and Jay Ashenfelter will oversee for Legendary.

Greatoneshere Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Like J.C. Chandors Kraven the Hunter, a Macon Blair (I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore) directed Toxic Avenger movie sounds fascinating or could end up being a bland studio job (the recent Ben Wheatley directed Meg 2: The Trench shows it can go either way).

SoberChef Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I legit can't wait for a trailer!!! For those not in the know, go scope out 'Blue Ruin' or 'Green Room' (RIP Anton) - both are stellar films no doubt about it (alas I have more of his filmography yet to watch, but I digress.)

SoberChef Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Like wow, I am legitimately blown THE FUCK away by how quality that trailer really is. There's something there, something inherently Troma there, nestled in between the layers, the heart of what was, still remains! I am going to love this film so hard!
