The official art and making of book for Legendary's upcoming The Toxic Avenger re-boot movie, starring Peter Dinklage.
As bold and irreverent as the original 1984 cult classic, Macon Blairs 2025 adaptation of The Toxic Avenger is a contemporary reimagining that stars Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, 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, its also rife with social and environmental themes.
In this official movie companion hardback with a neon glow in the dark cover, The Toxic Avenger: The Art and Making of the Movie has everything movie fans will want: uncover the concept designs 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.
