Peter Dinklage’s next movie is toxic.

After a long struggle to find a distributor — one producer told World of Reel it was seen as “unreleasable” because of how gross it is — the Dinklage-starring remake of The Toxic Avenger is finally due for theatrical release on August 29th in the US.

In its second teaser, Dinklage’s Winston Gooze, AKA Toxie, seeks help for a mysterious illness from the head of his company, played by Kevin Bacon. And yeah, it looks gross.
