Gnarly and Fun New UK Trailer for THE TOXIC AVENGER: UNCUT
Macon Blair’s wild and gory reimagining of the 1984 Troma cult classic is finally heading to theaters, and fans are in for a blood-soaked bonkers ride.
The new UK trailer for The Toxic Avenger: Uncut has arrived courtesy of Empire Magazine and Signature Entertainment, teasing the unfiltered madness coming August 29th to theaters in both the UK and US.
Unlike other versions held back by censors, this “Uncut” edition is bringing every bit of gruesome mayhem to the big screen.
Peter Dinklage stars as Winston Gooze, a humble janitor who’s transformed by a toxic disaster into a mop-wielding mutant superhero hellbent on saving his son and taking down a corrupt corporate overlord.
The film is loaded with a solid supporting cast including Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon, who all bring extra punch to the insanity. This reboot of The Toxic Avenger is clearly leaning into the over-the-top chaos that made the original a cult favorite.
The synopsis reads: “A horrible toxic accident transforms downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze into a new evolution of hero: The Toxic Avenger! Now wielding a glowing mop with super-human strength, he must race against time to save his son and stop a ruthless and power-hungry tyrant bent on harnessing toxic superpowers to strengthen his polluted empire.”
Blair, who previously helmed I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore, both wrote and directed this wild ride based on the original by Lloyd Kaufman and Joe Ritter.
Legendary teamed up with Troma to give this reboot a fresh, yet faithful spin. The movie first premiered at Fantastic Fest and Beyond Fest back in 2023, The Toxic Avenger has been waiting in the radioactive wings ever since.
Now that it's finally hitting theaters, fans can prepare for a blast of grotesque humor, mutant justice, and a glowing mop of doom.
The movie is set to hit theaters on August 29.
