Reports over at the NY Daily News claim that Manhattan B-movie mogul Lloyd Kaufman - the head of Troma Studios and creator of the cult hero known as the Toxic Avenger - is courting the same Broadway angels who backed "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" to develop a musical based on his beloved character. (The Avenger is also the subject of Kaufman's new novel, to be published in May by Avalon's Thundersmouth imprint.) "It's still in the 'bulls-' stage, but that's better than the 'never-gonna-happen' or 'it's dead' stage," Kaufman told NY Daily. For the uninitiated, "The Toxic Avenger is a hideously deformed creature, of superhuman size and strength, who became an environmental superhero after falling into a chemical vat of toxic waste," Kaufman explained.
