Image Comics’ popular comic book series Ice Cream Man was at one point being turned into a television series for the now defunct Quibi, but the property has found new life this week.
THR reports this afternoon that Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) are producing a film adaptation of the Ice Cream Man comics for Sony’s Screen Gems.
“Ice Cream Man serves up a range of horror flavors and genres, all threaded by the weaver of these tales, the titular character, who could be friend or foe, an angel or a devil.”
The Hollywood Reporter notes in today’s exclusive report, “The project is in early development and a search for a writer is currently underway.” Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
Ice Cream Man was created by W. Maxwell Prince. The “semi-anthological dark comedy horror comic book series” debuted back in 2018 courtesy of Image Comics.
