He said, "Maybe you can write Tromeo and Juliet," or "Maybe you can do The Toxic Avenger," or "Maybe you could do some other film." I would have preferred to do some other film at the time The Toxic Avenger and Tromeo and Juliet both sounded so cheesy and terrible to me. I went into a meeting with Lloyd because I'd gone to Troma to get a job filing papers in the office or something-but he knew I went to Columbia and that I had a reputation for performing on the Lower East Side. I was able to watch it with an audience and think about the parts that worked, as well as the parts that didn't. A lot of what I learned about filmmaking was in that film, especially the test screening. I can't believe how much time has passed-but, really, I can, because everything in my career really started with Tromeo and Juliet. We spoke to him and Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman separately about the making of their cult film.Ĭan you believe it has been 20 years since the initial release of the film?
The film was also a jumping off point for Gunn's career, cementing him as one of Troma's most successful alumni.
