Macon Blair detailed how he kept the themes of Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz's original while offering a new story.
The Big Picture A new generation of theatergoers is about to be introduced to The Toxic Avenger with the reboot from writer/director Macon Blair. Not all is the same as its 1984 predecessor, however.
"That was absolutely the kind of tightrope, like how do we honor the fan base? Because we knew we had to make something that would appeal to them and they would feel like, 'Yes, you didn't take this thing that's beloved to us and take it in some new direction that it doesn't warrant,' but as you said, it's a very devoted, vocal fan base, but of the overall movie-going population, it's quite a small sliver.
Blair's take instead centers on Winston, a single dad trying his best to take care of his stepson despite dealing with a deadly condition that he can't afford to treat. He eventually uses his new powers for good to fight the silly corporate ghouls like Kevin Bacon's Bob Garbinger that plague his town, not entirely unlike Melvin.
