“It's gotta be R. It's gotta be a dude in a suit. It's gotta be silly and ridiculous and purposefully juvenile.”
The Big Picture The Toxic Avenger remake is set to introduce a new narrative featuring Winston Gooze offering audiences a whole new story. One of the most noticeable changes the new iteration of the hero will have is the fact that the film received an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. During a recent interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, director Macon Blair talked about how he didn't expect the R-rated version of the story to be approved by the studio.
Blair revealed his persistence was what got the change approved, saying: "And I kept saying, 'It's gotta be R. It's gotta be a dude in a suit. It's gotta be silly and ridiculous and purposefully juvenile,' and they kept going, 'Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.' And at a certain point, it was like, 'Okay, well, I'm just going to write this goddamn thing and we'll see what happens,' and here we are.
