Boys In Trees Director To Helm High Concept Horror Flick The Ice Cream Man

Director Nicholas Verso (Boys in the Trees) has just signed on to helm the high concept horror film The Ice Cream Man. The elevated chiller follows two brothers who are terrorized by a sinister being.

The film is the next production under the two-year first look deal announced between Covert and Broken Road. Covert Media’s CEO Paul Hanson is producing alongside Broken Road Productions’ Todd Garner, and Ryan Lewis. Elissa Friedman, Sasha Shapiro, Anton Lessine, and Sean Robins serve as executive producers.

Nick is a true visionary when it comes to crafting genre films, handsomely evidenced by the awards and acclaim received in recent years,” commented Covert Media’s CEO Paul Hanson. “He is a proven, unique voice and we are thrilled that Justin and David’s outstanding, clever, and terrifying script is in a master’s hands.”

Justin and David are two exciting new horror voices, we were excited to discover, who’ve crafted a truly exciting and utterly creepy world to explore. With his innate talent as a director, Nick has provided the perfect vision to bring this world to life,” commented Broken Road Productions’ Ryan Lewis. “When we’re done with this film, parents will think twice before letting their kids chase after that familiar jingle when Summer comes around again.”

The film is directed by Nicholas Verso (Boys in the Trees) from a script written by Justin Powell and David Charbonier (Off Season, Secret Admirer) and is being fully financed by Covert Media who will handle worldwide sales on the film.

The Ice Cream Man is currently in pre-production.
