First impression: da fuck? Second impression: Da FUCK it ain't even close to April 1st.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Sure. Why not?

 

[ManaByte]

The dude could be the next Indiana Jones and I'd watch it.

 

[GeorgPrime]

That could be hilarious funny. I love Dinklage.

 

[Aarbron]

Uma would be a good starting point for inspiration

 

[Cravis]

Hell yeah!

 

[MetalAlien]

That completely misses the point of the TA.. just a money grab.

 

[Birdo]

Should have been Ricky Berwick.

 

[cryptoadam]

LOL Reboot of a cheap explotation B movie? Yeezus really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Though it was funny that TA had a cartoon and everything. 80's/90's would sell anything to kids.

Can't wait for 100 Million $ CGI fest Toxic Avenger. I expect Toxey to be completely CGI so it doesn't matter really. Probably to arsed to find a ballerina costume somewhere and they will CGI it into the movie, same with his mop.

Actually if they made a movie from the cartoon that would be a lot more interesting than a remake of the Lloyd Kaufman movie.

 

[DESTROYA]

Is he going to play Toxic Avenger as a baby.

Peter Dinklage To Star In Legendary's 'Toxic Avenger' Reboot

EXCLUSIVE: Peter Dinklage continues to build a strong film slate in his post Game of Thrones career and looks to have found his next big project. He is set to star in Legendary's new Toxic Avenger movie. Macon Blair is on board to direct.

A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment's successful 1984 low-budget action comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool. When a struggling everyman is pushed into a vat of toxic waste, he is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends and his community from the forces of corruption and greed. Troma's Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz will serve as producers.

Seriously though, this is awesome.

Cant wait to see Dinklage bring his full dramatic A-Game to this role. Given his height, hes super Tromaesque as well. Perfect casting. Big budget; little Toxie.

Give me blockbuster tier Sgt. Kabukiman next please

Tromaverse incoming!!

 

[The Pleasure]

Are kids under twelve still worth double points?

 

[Dr_Salt]

Toxic avenger 1 is one of the most hilarious movies ever. I hope they don't fuck this up.

 

[Clear]

This is Lloyd Kaufman's retirement fund project.

 

[Enjay]

A movie for posers who lie about having grown up on troma movies in the video store.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

The giant baby/midget shit has gotten old.

After Kabukiman we need a Master-Bater origin film!

"Rap superstar Master G and mild mannered sex offender John Bater enter a faulty elevator together. Little do they realize they will emerge as one man.... Master-Bater!"

I like Troma's trash but that sounds a lot like regular trash.

This is Lloyd Kaufman's retirement fund project.

Pretty much. =P

 

[FunkMiller]

That's.... fucking brilliant. Perfect casting.

 

[King of Foxes]

I wonder if he has disproportionate cock to his body

 

[Yoboman]

I'd actually prefer to see him take on some more serious dramatic roles, I think that's where he would shine

 

[highrider]

I like him, he's an actor that reminds me a little of Phillip Seymour Hoffmann in that they have a very relaxed and confident delivery as character actors for the most part. I don't know what to make of the choice but I think Robert Pattinson was a great choice for Batman so apparently I'm a shit casting agent lol.

Dont forget Poultrygeist Night of the Chicken dead remake, this time with fast moving Chicken sandwhichs directed by Zack Snyder!

Hang on, Adam, I've got Christopher Nolan on the other line...

 

[Blond]

That midget came from the moon

 

[cryptoadam]

What about Miami connection remake?

Dragon Sound could use a few bucks



But when you think about it wouldn't the better casting to have him star in the Troll 2 remake? Lets all go back to Nilbog.

 

[Enjay]

Sgt Kabukiman remake with Jet Li or whoever his current martial arts actor replacement is and cardi b next followed by Nuke Em High remake with the rock and kevin hart

 

[brap]

Absolutely fucking retarded.

 

[Kagey K]

Absolutely fucking retarded.

Speaking of......

Are they going to have the balls to be true to Melvins character in this day and age?

 

[Chittagong]

Peter Dinklage is so bad ass

Gitted if he isn't the next 007

 

[teezzy]

Absolutely fucking retarded.

Dude... it's a remake of a Troma movie.

Let's see where this goes.

 

[brap]

Dude he's a fucking midget. Toxie has always been tall.

Speaking of......

Possibly. Troma is still edgy from what I've seen just in a disgusting equality way. I really didn't need to see some fat dudes tiny cock in some movie.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Midget Avenger?

 

[teezzy]

Dude he's a fucking midget. Toxie has always been tall.

All the more reason for Melvin to be picked on and become a hero.

This is the production company who brought us Interstellar, Inception, The Dark Knight, Pacific Rim, Detective Pikachu, 300, etc.

Seems like the IP is in good hands overall. Not like Lloyd was going to make a new one any time soon.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Going to be a plot where it starts out as a normal height guy and he falls into a pit of sludge morphing him into a midget.

Oh it's not troma? Definitely gonna be pc garbage then.

 

[teezzy]

Maybe.

I'm expecting a Kaufman cameo somewhere and maybe like Farrelly brothers level hard R crudeness. We'll see, I guess.

 

[Rentahamster]

Cool. Height doesn't really matter if they just roll with it, or if Dinklage's transformed state is a CGI creation anyway.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

SHOW ME! The fucking jump roping with the intestines as a homage to the Toxie of old, Dinklage!

 

[MetalAlien]

The charm of the TA is how cheap and bad it is. If this has production value higher than a b-tier SNL skit they have completely let the joke go over their head.

 

[Classicrockfan]

Wonder if he will just play Melvin and some one else plays toxie while he does the voice?

 

[Kagey K]

This kind of makes sense. Having the Toxic Avenger running around looking like Leprechaun isn't the reboot I had in mind.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

We need a remake of Porky's...
God, I miss the 80ies.

 

[DragoonKain]

Not that this is relevant here, but best British accent of any American actor ever.

 

[brap]

youll get an all female remake just like with american pie

 

[duri8bo]

reminds me of the scene with god in part 4

 

[ZehDon]

I'll watch anything with Dinklage in it, so I'll keep an eye on this. One way or the other, I suspect it'll be quite the film.

[SJRB]

Didn't this fucking guy shit all over the entire GoT fanbase just a couple of days ago in the dumbest way possible?

Dude is a twat.
