The Toxic Avenger remake is praised for being 'super gory' and 'bonkers' after it premiered at Austin's Fantastic Fest on September 21.
“While the original film followed the fate of Melvin Ferd Junko III, who goes from zero to toxic hero in a case of bullying gone awry, Macon Blair’s contemporary take follows a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength all his own,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Peter Dinklage stars as downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze who, after falling into a vat of toxic waste, becomes none other than The Toxic Avenger.
Written and directed by Blair, the movie is produced by Kaufman and Herz. A wide release date has not yet been announced for The Toxic Avenger.Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows and all things pop culture for roughly five years. He's a life-long cinephile who spends way, way too much money buying blu-rays and trade paperbacks. You can find him on twitter at @brandonschreur.
