Conrad Vernon To Direct Toxic Avenger Remake
Conrad Vernon (Sausage Party) has signed on to direct a remake of the classic Troma Films schlock hero story The Toxic Avenger. The new film is being set up by Storyscape Entertainment and will include the original creators Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz as executive producers.

Vernon said of taking on the project:
