The director made Hot Tub Time Machine if that can possibly put anyone's mind's at ease.

No to Travolta.

Travolta? Seriously?

Where the hell is DJ Qualls? He'd have been perfect for Melvin.

And it's a PG-13 Troma flick. Which probably means that it'll not only be bad, it won't even be gratuitous and over-the-top. Not interested.

uh it's been forever since i've seen the old movies, but wasn't melvin/toxie a "kid"?

Here's a bit of entertainment casting news that completely came out of left field. Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to join the remake of the terribly fantastic 1980's cult film Toxic Avenger. I'm still not sure why this film is being remade, but if Schwarzenegger is on board, it's going to make it a hell of a lot more interesting. At the same time... is this really what the actor has resorted to? He's up for a lead role in the movie, but it isn't the Toxic Avenger. At one point John Travota was rumored to be up for a part, but thank goodness that didn't happen.

Two years ago it was announced that Steve Pink (Hot Tub Time Machine) would direct the film, and it looks like he's still attached to helm it from a script that he co-wrote with Daniel C. Mitchell.
