Why is that a surprising move? Ahnold doesn't really have a career right now and his last movie was god awful and performed terribly. He'll take any movie he can get

‘Zola’ Star Joins ‘Toxic Avenger’ Remake Starring Peter Dinklage – Deadline

Taylour Paige has landed the female lead opposite Peter Dinklage and Jacob Tremblay in Legendary’s new Toxic Avenger movie. Macon Blair is on board to direct.

A contemporary reimagining of Troma Entertainment’s successful 1984 low-budget action comedy hit, The Toxic Avenger is steeped in environmental themes and subverts the superhero genre in the vein of Deadpool. When a struggling everyman is pushed into a vat of toxic waste, he is transformed into a mutant freak who must go from shunned outcast to underdog hero as he races to save his son, his friends and his community from the forces of corruption and greed. Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz will serve as producers.

Happens w films at festivals often, but it's usually smaller films that are still looking for distribution.
