New ‘Toxic Avenger V’ And ‘Father’s Day’ Poster Art
With Cannes 2011 almost upon us, Troma has released new poster art for The Toxic Avenger V: The Toxic Twins, which the company will be seeking international buyers for at the fest. Directed by Lloyd Kaufman and written by Collyn McCoy, the sequels follows the beloved hero as he deals with fatherhood and keeps the peace in Tromaville.
There’s also new art for Father’s Day and Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical, which you can find after the break. The former was drawn by The Dude Designs, who created the fantastic Innkeepers and Hobo With A Shotgun posters.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if he got to create the official Toxie V poster?
Zach Cregger is no stranger to violent movies, with his first two at-bats in the horror genre yielding the films Barbarian and Weapons. But even those movies can’t compete with the level of violence on display in his next movie Resident Evil, he teases in a new chat.
Zach Cregger tells Empire Magazine that Resident Evil is “definitely the most violent thing I’ve done.” He teases, “You gotta go grotesque! I wanted to go all the way.”
“So it’s gnarly. It’s brutal,” Cregger continues. “A very bloody affair.”
He also tells Empire, “Fleshing out what [the Umbrella Corporation is] up to and how the T-virus works, that’s not what this movie is. This movie is about one dude’s journey on foot, fighting monsters. I don’t give a fuck about checking boxes. All I cared about was just telling a fun story. We step on the gas at about eight minutes in and never take our foot off the floor.”
Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony.
The film is being billed as “a thrilling — and terrifying — reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise” from the mind of visionary filmmaker Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons).
Austin Abrams (Weapons) stars as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”) round out the cast.
