Update On THE TOXIC AVENGER Reboot Within!



Bringing you the best in Horror Movie News, and all things Horror.

Legendary Entertainment is going to Tromaville to perform a reboot of THE TOXIC AVENGER.

Macon Blair will write and direct a reboot of the cult classic Troma movie The Toxic Avenger for Legendary Entertainment, who acquired the feature film rights to The Toxic Avenger in late 2018.

Troma Entertainment's Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, who co-directed the original TOXIC AVENGER, will serve as executive producers on the reboot, with Alex Garcia and Jay Ashenfelter supervising the project on behalf of Legendary.

Released in 1984, the original Toxic Avenger follows bullied janitor Melvin Ferd, who falls into toxic waste after being pursued by his tormentors, only to rise from certain death and transform into a disfigured defender of Tromaville. The film was followed by three sequels, a ’90s cartoon show, a stage musical, and a Marvel comic book series.

Before Legendary picked up the feature film rights for THE TOXIC AVENGER, Conrad Vernon was set to direct a remake of the 1984 film, but it didn't come to fruition.
