By Almost a year ago, a reboot of “The Toxic Avenger” premiered at Fantastic Fest to good reviews, the film sitting at a 92% (7.0/10) score on Rotten Tomatoes from over two dozen reviews.
Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon co-star in the film about a terminally ill janitor who falls into a pit of toxic waste and is transformed into a deformed monster out for revenge.
Since that screening however there’s not been a peep beyond rumors of it being a very hard film for producer/distributor Legendary Pictures to market.
Out promoting his new western film “The Thicket,” Dinklage was asked by ComicBook.com about the status of “The Toxic Avenger” release and says:
“I’m not a producer on it. I don’t know. I do want it to get out there into the world because it was a really big hit at Fantastic Fest in Austin, and Macon Blair, the writer/director who is also in The Thicket … He’s incredible. He’s one of my favorite people and favorite artists. So hopefully it will have its day in the toxic sun.”
The film was shot almost three years ago now with the teaser released back in September last year.
