About the Movie: The Toxic Avenger
Directed and written by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), and based on Lloyd Kaufman’s 1984 cult classic, this movie features a seriously impressive cast. Playing “Toxie” himself is Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”).
He’s joined by an all-star lineup, including horror veteran Kevin Bacon (Tremors, Hollow Man). Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings franchise), Jacob Tremblay (Room, Wonder), and Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Zola) also star.
In the film, “When a downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze, is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior. And take on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces threatening his son, friends, and community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.”
So, it sounds like the perfect blend of superhero satire, grotesque transformation, and righteous vengeance—a combination that fans of the original will love, all delivered with a modern twist. Cineverse is handling the distribution, with Legendary Entertainment producing, promising high-quality visuals and (undoubtedly) the perfect amount of disgusting gore!
