Watch The Very Bloody Red Band Trailer For 'THE TOXIC AVENGER' Now!

Ahead of its West Coast premiere at Beyond Fest on September 30, IGN has debuted the teaser trailer for Legendary Entertainment’s The Toxic Avenger. “Eyewitness Toxie,” as the red band teaser is designated, can be watched below.

Written and directed by Macon Blair, The Toxic Avenger is a contemporary re-imagining of Troma Entertainment’s 1984 cult classic of the same name created by Lloyd Kaufman. This film features a stellar ensemble, led by Peter Dinklage in the title role, that includes Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon.

Wood’s makeup transformation into villainous Fritz Garbinger set the Internet ablaze when it was revealed last week, with Blair describing the look as “sort of Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Danny DeVito Penguin mixed together."
