Kevin Bacon has joined the cast Legendary’s reboot of the 1984 film from schlock movie house Troma Entertainment.
Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay and Taylour Paige are already on the call sheet for the project, which gets underway later in June in Bulgaria with Macon Blair in the director’s seat.
Blair also wrote the script for the story of a struggling everyman who, when pushed into a vat of toxic waste, is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends, and his community from the forces of corruption and greed.
