The Toxic Avenger

The official art and making of book for the upcoming The Toxic Avenger re-boot movie, starring Peter Dinklage. As bold and irreverent as the original 1984 cult classic, Macon Blair's adaptation of The Toxic Avenger is a contemporary reimagining that stars Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, with Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon. When a struggling everyman janitor 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.   Brimming with unrelenting irreverence, outlandish humor, no-holds-barred action, and over-the-top gore, this new take on the audacious social-satire franchise pits the iconic "Toxie" against egomaniacal industry titan Bob Garbinger. Beneath all of the mutant mayhem, it's also rife with social and environmental themes.    In this official movie companion hardback, The Toxic Avenger: The Art and Making of the Movie will have everything movie fans will want: uncover the concept designs, character sketches, storyboards and production art, alongside insight from the writer-director, crew, producers, and actors for this superhero movie set in the wacky and wonky parallel universe of Tromaville.
