Filmmaker Eli Roth is skipping studios and self-funding his next horror project, Ice Cream Man, releasing it unrated through his own company The Horror Section. With a $5.5 million budget funded largely by foreign pre-sales and Canadian tax credits, Roth aims for creative freedom and a modest theatrical plan, expecting to profit through home entertainment and to release 2–4 horror films annually while retaining ownership of his IP.
Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man is set for a wide August release (Aug. 7) in about 2,000 theaters through Iconic Events, with Roth directing, producing and starring; Nas is an executive producer as part of The Horror Section’s slate.
