The Toxic Avenger Returns! - justintfirefly - 04-07-2010
It seems that we're looking at seeing a possible round 2 to the Toxic Avenger TV series, toys and comics!
"Captain Planet" anyone? Troma's igniting fire will be roaring back to life as Charlie Corwin's Original Media, a partnership with Dutch reality TV giant Endemol, has financed the acquisition of rights to Troma's The Toxic Avenger franchise that includes four sequels, an animated TV series and comic books, reports Deadline. According to the site the group intends to turn Toxie into a green superhero for these environmentally conscious times. Akiva Goldsman (Paranormal Activity 2, Jonah Hex), Richard Saperstein (The Mist and the other Troma remake, Mother's Day) and Corwin are all producing. Original Media will finance the development of a script, with writers to be hired shortly.
At first, I was a bit afraid since they're saying to be PG rated violence and stuff, but that's what it used to be on the old TV series anyway! All I know is I love some Toxie and if Lloyd's cool it with, I'm cool with it!
Here's Lloyd and I at DragonCon a few years ago. My wife is dressed as Anita Blake from the Laurell K Hamilton series and I'm...well, you can probably guess.
