Overview

  • The final grindhouse-style trailer dropped on August 24, echoing ’70s exploitation aesthetics and directly mirroring the 1984 film’s trailer.
  • The spot was commissioned by Bloody Disgusting, a Cineverse subsidiary, and created by producer Wilson Cleveland as a last push to rally theatrical attendance.
  • The narration embraces the exploitation tone, calling Toxie “the first superhero born of toxic waste” and urging viewers to “show the fuck up.”
  • The trailer reveals Peter Dinklage’s character name as Winston Gooze, confirming the janitor-turned-hero identity.
  • Writer-director Macon Blair’s unrated reimagining, praised by Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, opens in U.S. theaters on August 29.
