Sixteen years passed from the time Eli Roth made a slasher faux trailer called\u00a0Thanksgiving\u00a0for the Robert Rodriguez \/ Quentin Tarantino double feature\u00a0Grindhouse<\/a>\u00a0to the day when a feature version of\u00a0Thanksgiving\u00a0(read our review\u00a0HERE<\/a>) finally made its way into theatres \u2013 and\u00a0soon after that movie was released in 2023, it was announced that a sequel would be coming along in 2025.\u00a0Thanksgiving 2 was supposed to start filming last March\u2026 but that didn\u2019t happen. Filming had to be delayed<\/a> (hopefully not cancelled completely). And rather than mope about not being able to make that sequel this year, Roth shot a different horror movie called\u00a0Ice Cream Man this summer! Filming wrapped in September, and now a press release has revealed that the film stars Ari Millen (Orphan Black) as the titular character, along with Benjamin Byron Davis (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Dylan Hawco (Heartland), Sarah Abbott (Black Mirror), Shiloh O\u2019Reilly (Thanksgiving), Kiori Mirza Waldman (Small Achievable Goals), Charlie Zeltzer (The Handmaid\u2019s Tale), and Charlie Storey (Thanksgiving).\u00a0Roth is also in the cast.<\/p>\n

Media Capital Technologies (MCT) and\u00a0The Horror Section<\/a>\u00a0are fully financing\u00a0Ice Cream Man, which follows\u00a0an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results.\u00a0Plot details are being kept under wraps. Roth directed the film from a screenplay he wrote with Noah Belson, based on \u201can original idea he has had for over twenty years, but studios were too nervous to finance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Media Capital Technologies\u2019 Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh are producing alongside Cream Productions\u2019 Kate Harrison. Executive producers include MCT\u2019s Kevin Frakes, Connor DiGregorio, Eli Massillon, and Lorenzo Antonucci, and The Horror Section\u2019s Jon Schnaars and Holly Adams. The score is being composed by Brandon Roberts, with additional music by Snoop Dogg. Steve Newburn and Adrien Morot handle the special effects.<\/p>\n

Roth provided the following statement: \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited about the incredible cast we\u2019ve assembled for Ice Cream Man. It\u2019s surreal to see the idea I\u2019ve had for over twenty years come to life \u2013 and with this insanely talented cast, we get to deliver a film to horror fans that\u2019s as terrifying as I\u2019ve always imagined.\u201d The film will be receiving a wide theatrical release in 2026.<\/p>\n
