Troma Entertainment, Inc. is proud to announce that Troma’s CLASS OF NUKE ‘EM HIGH franchise will have a new installment filmed in Spain with a Spanish cast and crew, Read more…

Troma Entertainment’s theatrical classics, Class of Nuke ‘Em High and Poultrygeist, are now in negotiation to be remade as mainstream, big-budget productions, following deals for the remake
of The Toxic Avenger, which will be produced by Akiva Goldsman and directed by Steven Pink (Hot Tub Time Machine), and Troma’s Mother’s Day, which has just been remade by Brett Ratner (X-Men, Tower Heist).

The original Class of Nuke ‘Em High,  directed by Richard W. Haines and Troma President Lloyd Kaufman in  1986, tells how a radioactive leak in the Tromaville Nuclear Plant  contaminates the marijuana consumed by the students in Tromaville High School. It sold about 500,000 copies just in the US, becoming a cult hit nearly as successful as Troma classics The Toxic Avenger and Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.

Originally released in 2006, Poultrygeist follows Arbie, a young man trying to win back his ex-girlfriend Wendy by getting a job at the same New Jersey fried chicken fast-food restaurant where she works. Unbeknownst to Arbie and the other employees, however, the restaurant is located on sacred Indian burial grounds, which brings hordes of demonic chickens to attack everyone in the vicinity.Entertainment Weekly called Poultrygeist “as savage as Dawn of the Dead, as slapstick nutzoid as Evil Dead 2… an exploitation movie with soul.

“We got a chance to meet Lloyd Kaufman who was at the TROMA booth at NYCC 2011. In the video he gives us an update on everything happening in the world of TROMA including a Toxic Avenger update. Hear what he has to say and watch a master in marketing at work. “
