We have a new uncensored trailer for Macon Blair‘s (“Room 104”) long-awaited “The Toxic Avenger” reboot. This will be a remake of the 1984 film of the same name, co-directed by Troma Entertainment co-founders Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman.
It tells the story of Melvin, a bullied janitor at the Tromaville health spa, who falls into a vat of toxic waste after being pranked. Instead of killing him, the waste transforms him into the mutated superhero, The Toxic Avenger. Toxie quickly became a mascot for Troma Studios, creating a franchise of films, cartoons, toys, and comics.
Blair‘s version will star Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”) as downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze. He stars alongside Kevin Bacon (“Tremors”), Elijah Wood (“Yellowjackets”), Jacob Tremblay (“Room”), Julia Davis (“Person of Interest”), and Taylour Paige (“Zola”).
“The Toxic Avenger” premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2023, and will FINALLY hit theaters on August 29th. You can check out the new uncensored trailer below:
