WEDNESDAY Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar Producing Film Adaptation of Horror Anthology Comic ICE CREAM MAN

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, best known for creating the hit Netflix series Wednesday, and most recently writing the script for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, have acquired the rights to the horror anthology comic Ice Cream Man that was written and created by W. Maxwell Prince. They are set to produce a film of the popular comic with Sony genre label 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.” Artists Martin Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran joined Prince on the book.

The comic has been in and out of various stages of Hollywood production since it debuted in 2018 from Image Comics. It was once set up as a series at UCP and in 2020 was in development by short-form streamer Quibi. This is the first time the title, which continues to publish on an irregular schedule, is being developed as a feature.

The project is in early development and a search for a writer is currently underway. Are you looking forward to this movie?
