Back in April we found out thatThe Toxic Avengerwas gettingtossed in the remake machinefor a family friendly PG-13 action comedy similar toThe Maskstarring Jim Carrey. NowDeadlinehas word that directorSteve Pink, the seemingly familyunfriendlyfilmmaker ofHot Tub Time Machinewill helm the"green"remake for these environmentally conscious times. No new details on the story for this new adaptation have surfaced, but the original focused on a mop-wielding simpleton named Melvin, whose trusting ways made him easy prey for gym thugs who tossed him into a vat of toxic waste, thus turning him into The Toxic Avenger.
A transformation gave him rippling muscles and despite a rather grotesque exterior appearance, some beautiful ladies finally started noticing Melvin. The deal for the remake included the acquisition ofthe 1984 original film, four sequels, an animated TV series and comic books, so rather than a straight up adaptation of one of these iterations, the new film will likely use all of them as inspiration. It's not clear if the director will tackle this before continuing development on therecently announced adaptationofHow to Survive a Robot Uprisingbut Pink says,""The Toxic Avenger is exactly what the country–wait, that's not big enough–what theworldneeds right now."A bit theatrical, but I guess you can't expect much less for a hero that could save the world with his mop and bucket.Anyone excited about this news?
