(Cannes) May 18, 2000 - Fifteen years after he first appeared, Troma's most beloved super-mutant, The Toxic Avenger, will once again spread radioactive love across the silver screen in Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV. The Troma Team is proud to present selected world premiere scenes and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from this work-in-progress at a special private screening during the Cannes Film Festival. This is the last of three very special, invitation-only, love-fest cocktail parties hosted by Troma in their luxurious Love Chapel, located in suites #264 and 265 of the Carlton Hotel.

The first Toxic Avenger film in over a decade, Toxie's return to action is directed by his creator Lloyd Kaufman. Worlds collide when the Toxic Avenger switches places with his evil self, the Noxious Offender. While Noxie rampages through Tromaville, Toxie is trapped in Amortville, battling evil versions of Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD and other Tromaville citizens. Citizen Toxie also introduces a brand new roster of superhuman characters, including Dolphin Man and Mad Cowboy. "In other words," explains Kaufman, "Citizen Toxie is an exact, shot-by-shot remake of Orson Welles' towering classic Citizen Kane."

Admittance to this private screening is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Those in attendance will also receive the highly sought-after Troma Love Pack, containing either a collectible limited edition Cannes Film Festival variant of Troma's brand-new comic book The New Adventures of the Toxic Avenger or "Hard-On For Tromaville", a 3-CD compilation of independent rock and punk bands from around the world created by AMP Records and Tromaville.com.
