Legendary To Remake “Toxic Avenger”





Legendary has acquired the film rights to “The Toxic Avenger” franchise from Troma Entertainment.

Launched as a low-budget B-movie in 1984, the film series told the story of a boy who becomes a disfigured radioactive hulking mess after falling into a vat of toxic waste. He then uses his newfound form to fight villains.

The original film generated three film sequels, a stage musical production, a video game and a children’s TV cartoon. Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz will serve as producers on the new take.

I have to say that Trump is looking a little worse for wear.

I suppose that happy snap was taken before he put on his wig, applied his make-up and had his first coffee of the day...

Your thoughts on this movie.....

The story recounts when Benza’s shy, effeminate cousin from New Jersey lived with his Sicilian-American family, memories dominated by the author’s short-tempered, outspoken, hyper-masculine father. The rough-around-the-edges family puts aside its prejudices to welcome with open arms a young boy struggling to understand his sexuality and ultimately accept himself.

A couple expecting their first child track down a cradle from their childhood and make a discovery that will change their family forever.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Filmmaker Hope Dickson Leach delivered one of the more underseen films of recent years with her debut work “The Levelling,” and now she returns with another straight drama that enlists the great Jack O’Connell and actress Lily Collins for this adaptation of Patrick Somerville’s 2009 novel. The story follows an expecting newlywed couple and the husband’s attempts to find the abandoned antique cradle that his wife used when she was a baby. His search leads him to a discovery that will forever change his wife’s life and a difficult decision for him.

Straight to VOD reboot of the franchise led by Amy Manson (“Once Upon a Time”) and helmed by Tony Giglio

Doom (PS1) Gameplay

 

[Doctor Omega]

2005’s Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban-led adaptation of the iconic FPS video game was not a well received take, but it’s positively big budget compared to this straight to VOD reboot of the franchise led by Amy Manson (“Once Upon a Time”) and helmed by Tony Giglio (“S.W.A.T.: Under Siege”). Shot in Bulgaria on the cheap, it means they won’t be holding back the gore which should allow for some real brutality that otherwise wouldn’t be in a major release. Even so, don’t get your hopes up.

Margot Robbie Is “Barbie” For Warner Bros.





Warner Bros. Pictures and Mattel have reportedly partnered to bring Barbie back to the big screen with Margot Robbie set to portray the live-action version of the iconic doll.

Robbie will also co-produce the film through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner, alongside Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara. Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, says Robbie is ideal to bring the character to live in a “fresh and relevant way for today’s audiences”.

The Barbie adaptation marks the first announced deal to come out of Mattel’s newly-established Mattel Films. Numerous attempts over the years have been made to do a “Barbie” film with the likes of Anne Hathaway and Amy Schumer attached at points.

Robbie is about to reprise her Harley Quinn role next month for the “Birds of Prey” shoot.
