The original Toxic Avenger spawned sequels such as The Toxic Avenger Part II, The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie and Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
After gestating in development for nearly six years, The Toxic Avenger remake is finally moving forward with a new director.
The Toxic Avenger remake will be produced by Storyscape’s Richard Saperstein along with Weed Road’s Akiva Goldsman and Charlie Corwin.
Deadline says this new version is a more grounded and mainstream approach to The Toxic Avenger, which first hit theaters in 1984 from director Lloyd Kaufman.
