Ice Cream Man is going from the comic page to the big screen. Screen Gems has acquired the film rights to the horror anthology written and created by W. Maxwell Prince.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who are behind the series Wednesday as well as the writers of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, will produce and adapt the comic.

Ice Cream Man is a horror anthology published by Image Comics and has featured art by Martin Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran. The comic debuted in 2018.

Gather round the neighborhood ice cream truck for these tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man—a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats. Friend. Foe. God. Demon. The man who, with a snap of his fingers—lickety split!—can change the course of your life forever.

Chocolate, vanilla, existential horror, drug addiction, musical fantasy…there’s a flavor for everyone’s misery.

The project is in very early development and a search for a writer is still going.
