Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage rips a rocker's goꦛatee clean off his face in the eye-popping new trailer for gory horror-comedy The Toxic Av𒐪enger. 

The promo opens on a "documentary" of a Nu Metal group that has suffered a grisly fate, as we come to learn quickly. "One band, one town, one chaotic concꦉert the world will never forget," an unseen narrator teases. "Discover how The Killer Nutz became the sensation that they are today."

"It's Monstercore, it can't be defined," Elijah Wood's creepy-loo🎃king character Fritz🅘 Garbinger chimes in, before the transmission is seemingly interrupted 𒁏by a Robocop-style news report that details a "frightening fracas". We see the titular hero's sneakered feet walk slowly into frame as someone off screen shouts, "Who the **** is ruining our show?!"

The Toxic Avenger then spears one of the musician's through the head, before🦋 the same weapon lodges into the DJ deck and fries the woman spinning it. Gnarꦬly. Watch it above.

Billed as a "brand new reimagining of Lloyd Kaufman's classic", the movie, which wrapped four years ago now, centers on terminally ill janitor Winston Gooze (Dinklage), who develops supܫerpowers after fꦓalling into a vat of toxic waste while trying to rob his dodgy employer.

"This timely reimagining is up to its eyeballs in𒁏 environmental ꦰthemes as Winston goes up against the evil forces of greed and corruption to save his son, his friends, and his community," reads the official synopsis. Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Jane Levy, Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, and Kevin Bacon all star alongside Wood and Dinklage.

The Toxic Avenger releases in theaters on August 29. While we wait, check out our picks of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies heading our way.
