Toxic Avenger reboot

[Skanky Vamp]

Legendary Entertainment has acquired feature film rights to The Toxic Avenger, with a reboot of the iconic Troma horror franchise in the works. Original directors Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Kaufman’s iconic b-movie studio Troma Entertainment will serve as producers on the new film.

The Toxic Avenger centers on Toxie, born when the mild-mannered Melvin from Tromaville, NJ, falls into a vat of toxic waste. He’s transformed into a repulsive-yet-lovable mutant hero who stands up to bullies and corruption with irreverent zeal.

The original film premiered in 1984 starring Mitch Cohen as Toxie. It spawned three sequel films, a stage musical, a children’s cartoon TV series and a Marvel comic.

If movies are supposed to be part of the "creative arts", why do we keep getting this lack of creativity? It must be obvious to the money people that viewers do not live in a vacuum. The all-female reboot of "Ghostbusters" was met with indifference and derision. The only reason "The Toxic Avenger" might survive is not many people knew about the original.
