The Toxic Avenger
The Toxic Avenger remake, starring Peter Dinklage as the mutated anti-hero, got enthusiastic reviews after its debut at the 2023 Fantastic Fest; there’s still no release date set, but you have to imagine Legendary Pictures and Troma Entertainment will want to capitalize on all the buzz with a 2024 release… please. We’re begging you, because we are dying to see this one. (Date TBD)
The other remakes on our radar for 2024 are Witchboard, a redo of the deliciously cheesy 1986 flick from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors director Chuck Russell and starring Jamie “Vecna on Stranger Things” Campbell Bower (date TBD); and Speak No Evil, which revisits the 2022 Danish release of the same name that’s one of the most disturbing films we’ve ever seen. It’s directed by James Watkins (who knows disturbing; he made 2008’s Eden Lake) and stars James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis. (August 9)
