The Troma classic "The Toxic Avenger" is the next classic to get the remake treatment.

Deadline reports, "Toxie, as the mop-wielding character is affectionately called, is at the center of a remake deal for a film that will be produced by Akiva Goldsman, Richard Saperstein and Charlie Corwin. Corwin's Original Media, a partnership with Dutch reality TV giant Endemol, has financed the acquisition of rights to a franchise that includes four sequels, an animated TV series and comic books."

The remake will be a family film in the vein of "The Mask".
