One half of the directing team behind this month’s Sausage Party is set to direct a remake of The Toxic Avenger. The news comes to us via Variety who say that Vernon will team with screenwriters Mike Arnold and Chris Poole (Archer) who are rewriting the screenplay by Steve Pink and D.C. Mitchell.
Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz of Troma Films, creators of the original will executive the planned redo.
The Tromo classic, released in 1984, was directed by Kaufman and Herz and revolved around a 98-pound nerd (Mark Torgl) from New Jersey who lands in a vat of toxic waste and becomes a benevolent monster (Mitchell Cohen).
No word on when this one will kick into production, but we’ll keep you informed.
