The Toxic Avenger is making its return and is as over the top as ever. Director Macon Blair’s reimagining of the 1984 cult classic is set for a theatrical release in 2025, bringing with it a new companion book.
The Toxic Avenger: The Art and Making of the Movie is set for release on September 16th from publisher Titan Books and offers a deep-dive into the irreverent world of Tromaville. The book comes with a glow-in-the-dark hardcover and will highlight the concept and production art for the outlandish movie across 160 pages. It will also include insights and commentary from the director, cast and crew, so you can get a true behind the scenes look and how it all came together.
The Toxic Avenger stars Peter Dinklage as a downtrodden janitor who is transformed after falling into toxic waste, becoming a mutant hero called ‘Toxie’. It has a great cast that also includes Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon. This new version of movie brings the satirical and outrageous series to the modern world, providing a slime covered look at corruption, greed and pollution.
While it is not unusual for movies to get ‘Art and Making of’ books, it can be seen as a win for this instalment of the series following the turbulent release it suffered. It was originally shown at movie festivals, starting with Fantastic Fest on September 21st 2023, then moving on to others, including Beyond Fest and the Sitges Film Festival. Since then, they struggled for a long time to get a distributer for a wider release due to the graphic content. Fortunately, it secured a distributer in Cineverse this year and is expected to be shown in cinemas on August 29th 2025, almost 2 years after its festival debut.
The Toxic Avenger: The Art and Making of the Movie is available for pre-order now and those interested can do so here;
