HUH? John Travolta attached to ‘Toxic Avenger’ remake??
According to reputable film development site It’s On the Grid , the Steve Pink helmed remake/reboot/retarded of Troma’s classic The Toxic Avenger has attached John Travolta as a cast member. It’s unknown what character he could be playing, it’s highly doubtful it’d be Toxie himself. Still, it’s a bit of left field casting, right? Pink’s best known as a writer/producer for John Cusack films like Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity, and most recently directed 2010’s Hot Tub Time Machine. I can think of many worse directors to tackle the Toxic absurdity at least.
So far, Travolta remains the only actor attached. The info of attached parties can be found here. Share your thoughts!

Spielberg, Hill, Verhoven, Cronenberg, Landis, Carpenter, Lucas, Friedkin, and many others built my taste in youth. Then filmmakers from Italy, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Spain crept in. Now I'm an unstoppable film fiend, and living and breathing ALL the visual mediums you can find. I'll take any excuse to talk movies or TV, so writing and podcasting are my outlets!
