Composers Brooke Blair & Will Blair (Green Room, Hold the Dark, Blue Ruin, The Informer, Sweet Virginia, Black Christmas) are reteaming with writer/director/actor Macon Blair on the upcoming superhero action comedy The Toxic Avenger. The film starring Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, Julia Davis and Elijah Wood is based on Troma Entertainment’s 1984 cult classic of the same title and follows a struggling everyman who is pushed into a vat of toxic waste and 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. Macon Blair is writing and directing the movie and also appears in the Legendary Entertainment production, which is produced by Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz. The composers have previously scored the filmmakers’s directorial debut I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore and also composed the music for several other films he wrote and produced. No release date has been set yet for The Toxic Avenger.
