Eli Roth’s filmmaking career is getting a fresh shot of life with his new venture The Horror Section, which will see Roth making new horror movies outside of the studio system. One of the first projects on the slate is a new original horror film Roth will be directing titled The Ice Cream Man, which he described as his “most terrifying and insane film to date.”
Variety reports that The Horror Section has signed a deal with German production banner Construction Film, said to be a “multi-year, multi-picture co-financing and production alliance.”
Two titles are already on the Horror Section x Construction Film slate, one of which is a German remake of Roth’s movie Knock Knock – which itself was a remake of 1977’s Death Game.
Released back in 2015, Roth’s Knock Knock starred Keanu Reeves, Ana de Armas, and Lorenza Izzo, and Roth will produce the upcoming German-language remake.
Additionally, Eli Roth is writing and directing a horror film titled Final Cut, which looks to be a throwback to the Italian Giallo movies that were extremely popular in the 1970s.
Veronica Ferres will star in Final Cut, and we expect more details soon.
“I’m so thrilled to be partnering with Veronica and the team at Construction Film. Veronica is a superb talent both as a star and producer, and I look forward to working with her as a director and producing partner,” said Roth. “I have had tremendous success with international co-productions and look forward to expanding The Horror Section’s global footprint by tapping into the amazing talent all across Europe. Horror films appeal globally, and we look forward to scaring and thrilling audiences worldwide.”
The Horror Section is a just-launched independent studio from Eli Roth, with a focus on making theatrical horror movies without studio interference.
