Signature Entertainment has unveiled the new UK theatrical artwork and trailer for Peter Dinklage’s dark comedy, The Toxic Avenger, which will be exclusively in UK and Irish cinemas on August 29. We’ve been waiting for these to drop and are hoping that the movie comes to Cineworld.
Based on the original 1980s cult hit, which spawned an outrageous franchise, The Toxic Avenger is produced by Kaufman and Michael Herz (Class of Nuke ‘Em High) of Troma Entertainment, and Alex Garcia (Godzilla MonsterVerse) and Mary Parent (Dune: Part One, Dune Part Two) of Legendary Pictures.
Meet the world’s first Super-Hero… from New Jersey! Winston Gooze is an ordinary worker who, after a shocking accident, transforms a downtrodden janitor into a mutant vigilante. Armed with his signature mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.
Starring Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Jacob Tremblay (Doctor Sleep), Taylour Paige (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), Kevin Bacon (MaXXXine), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy), Julia Davis (Gavin & Stacey) and Luisa Guerreiro (Baldur’s Gate III), The Toxic Avenger is written by Macon Blair (I Don’t Feel At Home in This World Anymore), Lloyd Kaufman (Mother’s Day) and Joe Ritter (The Toxic Avenger 1984), and is directed by Blair.
