Hell yea. They’ve been saying this was gonna be rebooted for awhile. Let’s see if it happens.

They should do a bunch of the Troma movies. We need a Surf Nazis Must Die reboot!

they would have to gut the heart out of that movie, with a steel hook. pass.

Started watching this for first time ever (watched cartoon as kid tho) - it's so much better than I've would've expected

Oh wait, reboot? If it's any less fucked it'll be shameful. Crank it up, not down

Given the state of Hollywood with their woke bullshit and strikes. I'm actually surprised they're even attempting to remake anything Troma has done.

I think this is likely to be shit and any Troma reboot would likely be shit in general. And not in the way that the original movies are shit, but in a fun way.

the origin story has already been changed.

from this

Melvin Ferd Junko III is a weakling who works as a janitor at a health club in the fictional town of Tromaville, New Jersey, where the customers—particularly Bozo, Slug, Wanda and Julie—harass him constantly. His tormentors murder a young boy on a bike with their car and take photos of the carnage afterward. They trick Melvin into wearing a pink tutu and amorously hugging a sheep. He is chased around the health club and out a second story window. He falls into a drum of toxic waste, which sets him on fire. After running down the street, Melvin douses the flames in his bathtub. The chemicals transform him into a hideously deformed mutant with superhuman size and strength.

to this
Plot: After a terminally-ill janitor attempts to rob the company he works for, following his greedy employer's refusal to pay for his treatment, he falls into a vat of toxic waste, becoming a deformed superhero who seeks to protect his son and community while getting back at those who wronged him.

whatever the fuck that is.
