Lloyd Kaufman Clarifies That No, James Gunn Isn’t Working on ‘Toxic Avenger 5’
As we told you earlier this week, Lloyd Kaufman is still actively working on Toxic Avenger 5, which will be the first new installment in the franchise in twenty years. The latest info on the film came courtesy of a new chat SFX Magazine had with Troma’s founder, with Kaufman noting that the script is ambitious and the best one yet.
Kaufman told the mag, “The script is complete and it will focus on Toxie’s two children who, 20 years after part four, have all grown up. And one has mutated into a very strange being [laughs]. Fans can expect more low-budget action with the usual Troma mix of girls, guts and gruesome gore. Toxie is going to go to Chernobyl in this one.”
In the same interview, Kaufman mentioned James Gunn, who of course got his start writing for Troma. That quote has since taken on a new life, with various websites reporting that James Gunn has actually been working on the script with Kaufman. Taking to social media yesterday, Kaufman clarified that no, that’s simply not true.
“There is a big error online!” Kaufman tweeted. “As much as Toxie and I love him and would LOVE to have James Gunn work on Toxie 5, this is NOT true! Unless James is planning to surprise Uncle Lloydie, this is #fakenews!”
Sorry, folks!
Take your seats. The show is about to begin. Warner Bros. brings us some new marketing for M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap this morning, including a new poster and an original song.
Saleka Shyamalan stars in the upcoming thriller as fictional pop star Lady Raven, and today brings us a first-listen preview of the song “Release” by Saleka as Lady Raven.
Give it a listen right here and find the new official poster for Trap down below.
M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.
In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.
Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”
According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
