Eli Roth's latest horror movie, Ice Cream Man, is set to hit theaters in 2026, marking a significant milestone in his career. The film's production journey began with a slasher faux trailer called 'Thanksgiving' for the Grindhouse double feature, which took 16 years to materialize. Despite the long wait, Roth's passion project is finally coming to fruition. The movie's cast includes a stellar lineup of talented actors, such as Ari Millen, Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O'Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer, and Charlie Storey. Roth himself is also part of the ensemble. The film's plot remains a closely guarded secret, with only a tantalizing hint of an idyllic summer town turning into a nightmare when an ice cream man's treats have horrifying consequences. Roth's enthusiasm for the cast is palpable, as he expresses his excitement about bringing his long-held vision to life. The movie is financed by Media Capital Technologies and The Horror Section, with a score by Brandon Roberts and additional music by Snoop Dogg. Special effects are handled by Steve Newburn and Adrien Morot, ensuring a visually stunning and terrifying experience. Roth's statement emphasizes his eagerness to deliver a film that lives up to his vision, and fans of the genre are eagerly awaiting its release.
