In un'intervista rilasciata a DreadCentral, Lloyd Kaufman praised the script of the reboot of The Toxic Avenger - Il vendicatore tossico definendola "migliore dell'originale". Il reboot del film è stato annunciato two years ago e vede in cabina di regia l'attore/regista Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), il quale si è occupato anche della sceneggiatura.
Recentemente l'attore americano Peter Dinklage (Il trono di spade) ha raggiunto il cast.
The Toxic Avenger (USA - 1984), the iconic Troma cult film, is directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman, creators of the original franchise as well as founders of the well-known U.S. independent film production and distribution company. Both appear in this new Legendary Pictures project as producers.
Plot of The Toxic Avenger (1984): In the fictional town of Tromaville lives Melvin Ferd, a shy and awkward boy who works at the Tromaville Health Club gym. The young man is constantly bullied by the young men who frequent it, and during one of their heavy pranks, Melvin falls into a toxic waste container. The accident does not cause his death but turns him into a monstrous mutant superhero.
