The Toxic Avenger is coming back to life with a brand new movie from Legendary Entertainment, with Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore, Green Room) directing the fresh take on the Troma classic. A Troma movie just isn’t a Troma movie unless it’s rated “R,” and the good news here is that Blair’s The Toxic Avenger is definitely rated “R”!
The film just received its official “R” rating for…
“Strong violence and gore, language throughout, sexual references and brief graphic nudity.”
The Toxic Avenger remake doesn’t yet have a release date. Stay tuned.
Elijah Wood, Julia Davis, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, Peter Dinklage, and Jacob Tremblay lead the cast of Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger, being called a “contemporary reimagining.”
“A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget action-comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool. When a struggling everyman is pushed into a vat of toxic waste, he is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends, and his community from the forces of corruption and greed,” Deadline previously detailed of the upcoming remake.
