This week:The Toxic Avenger(1984)
Why this is a bad? Just watch the trailer...
There is no way this can go well. The original is an awesome example of low budget filmaking and 80s cheez. Then there is this:
"The group(Endemol, who bought the rights to everything Toxic Avenger) intends to turn Toxie into a green superhero for these environmentally conscious times."Why not just make a Captain planet movie?
"The remake will be mounted as a family friendly PG-13 action comedy akin to The Mask..."Seriously? Has anyone seen the movie? Blood, boobs, more blood, animal cruelty, vehicular homicide of a child, nazis, castration.
The only upside is that Lloyd Kaufman(President, Troma Entertainment, inc. and Creator of the Toxic Avenger) got paid, which means he can keep cranking out movies for Troma films.
