The new horror movie from indie filmmaker Joe Begos (Bliss, Christmas Bloody Christmas) is titled Jimmy and Stiggs, and Variety reports that Eli Roth has come on board the film.
Eli Roth’s new venture The Horror Section has acquired the distribution rights to Jimmy and Stiggs, with a planned theatrical release from Iconic Events Releasing (Terrifier 3).
Jimmy and Stiggs “follows a down-on-his-luck filmmaker (Begos) who claims he was abducted by aliens, vowing to bring them down alongside his friend (Matt Mercer).”
Iconic Events brings Jimmy and Stiggs to theaters on August 15.
“Rarely does a film stop me in my tracks the way Jimmy and Stiggs did,” Eli Roth said in a statement shared by Variety. “I grew up on Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson’s low budget over the top splatter fests, and very few filmmakers have ever achieved that level of insanity. Horror fans have not had an experience like this in the theaters in a long time and the spirit, anarchy and fun of the movie represents everything I want to bring to the masses in theaters.”
Stay tuned for more on this one as we learn it.
The Horror Section is a just-launched independent studio from Eli Roth, with a focus on making theatrical horror movies without studio interference. Learn more about the venture here.
