Macon Blair’s ‘The Toxic Avenger’ Deemed “Unreleasable”
Blair’s film, rated R for strong violence, screened at a handful off genre film festivals — the reviews have been decent. However, the film still has no distributor.
I reached out to a producer, and they tell me the film “unreleasable” and that its commercial prospects are “too out there” for theatrical release. They believe that if the film does get picked up it would most likely go straight to VOD or streaming.
If it had great reviews then maybe the forecast would be a little rosier, but there isn’t much potential. It’s too niche. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see it on Tubi a few years from now.
“The Toxic Avenger” had its first public screening last September at Fantastic Fest, it went on to be seen at Beyond Fest and the Sitges Film Festival. That’s about it. I’m surprised it hasn’t even shown up in the just-announced Fantasia Film Festival lineup.

Vertical Acquires U.S. Rights To Adventure Comedy ‘Bookworm’
Vertical has acquired U.S. rights to the adventure comedy Bookworm, starring Elijah Wood (Yellowjackets) and Nell Fisher (Evil Dead Rise). Directed by Wood’s frequent collaborator Ant Timpson (Come to Daddy), who penned the script with Toby Harvard, the film is slated for release later this year.
Bookworm follows 11-year-old Mildred (Fisher), whose life takes a wild turn when her estranged father, Strawn Wise (Wood), a washed-up Las Vegas illusionist, suddenly reappears. Years ago, after a magical encounter with the once-charming Strawn, Mildred’s mom moved back to New Zealand. Now, a comical mishap leaves Strawn caring for Mildred while her mom is hospitalized. Their first adventure? Camping to hunt for the mythological Canterbury Panther. As this mismatched duo navigates the wilderness, magic tricks, and an extraordinary quest, hilarity ensues, and they might just find a way to piece their family back together.
