The official website for Alan Pao's Toxic has been overhauled, and two stills galleries for the movie have been added to it.

As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, the screenplay for Toxic was written by Pao, based on a story by Corey Large. The movie's principal cast is as follows (listed order corresponds to order on poster on left): Susan Ward, (Corey) Large, Master P, Dominique Swain, Danny Trejo, Tom Sizemore, Bai Ling, Charity Shea, Costas Mandylor, Cerina Vincent, Steven Bauer, Lochlyn Munro, Paul Johansson, Nick Chinlund, Nicole Lenz, Brande Roderick, C. Thomas Howell, Sandra McCoy, and Shar Jackson.

Here's a synopsis for Toxic from the official website for the movie: "The lives of a nightclub owner, a crime boss, a stripper, a bartender, two hitmen, a prostitute, and a psychic take a turn for the worse when they are trapped in an escaped mental patient's sinister path of madness and destruction. ¶ When Nadine (Dominique Swain - 'Face/Off', 'Lolita'), a prostitute trying to put herself through college by any means necessary, finds the seemingly innocent and naïve Lucille (Charity Shea - 'Alpha Dog') asleep in a run-down alleyway, little does she know that she has just met the harbinger of death. In an effort to get Lucille back on her feet, she introduces her to Angel (Master P - 'I Got the Hook Up', 'Hollywood Homicide'), a nightclub owner who moonlights as a pimp. ¶ It just so happens that Lucille is the daughter of local crime boss Van Sant (Tom Sizemore - 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Black Hawk Down'), who believes she is plagued with a mythological curse that changes the fate of anyone who shows her kindness. Heeding warnings from the psychic Lena (Bai Ling - 'Red Corner', 'Sky Captain'), Van Sant sends his two top hitmen, Sid (Corey Large - 'Chasing Ghosts', 'Window Theory') and Antoine (Danny Trejo - 'Sin City 2', 'Heat'), on a mission to track her down before she makes her way back home. ¶ As everyone spirals down a perilous crash course, the truth slowly begins to reveal itself, with deadly consequences for all. Are they simply pawns in death's twisted game, or are they truly victims of a poisonous curse?"

Here's a description of Toxic from the website of production company Wingman Productions Inc.: "'Toxic' is a psychological thriller that questions the morality of how far one will go to bury his past. When a local crime boss commissions two bounty hunters to find his missing daughter, trouble ensues for the management and staff of two very exclusive nightclubs in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. ¶ As the twisted tale of lies and deception is unraveled, everyone involved is forced to trade a portion of his soul for his innermost desires. 'Toxic' is filled with myriad characters, each with his own clandestine agenda, in this story of corruption, murder, and born-again self-rejuvenation."
