Eli Roth Serves Up Brain Freezes and Bloodshed at SDCC for ‘Ice Cream Man’

Just when you thought it was safe to listen for the cheerful chime of the neighborhood ice cream truck, Eli Roth is here to ruin your childhood memories all over again. Ahead of its theatrical debut, the splatter master took a deliciously deadly detour through San Diego Comic-Con. He’s promoting his latest horror offering, Ice Cream Man, which scoops its way into theaters nationwide on August 7, 2026.

It was conceived by visionary experiential artist Maximillian (the brain behind the famed I Like Scary Movies 3D experience). Fans who survived the installation were treated to brain-freezing desserts and limited-edition swag served straight out of an overhauled, custom truck, a collaboration with Street Freeze.

“The Boys” Stunt Coordinator John Koyama Talks Blood, Brawn, and Emmy Buzz in Our Interview

When it comes to Hollywood stunt work, John Koyama hasn’t just seen it all—he’s probably jumped off it, hit it, crashed into it, or directed it. Known around set simply as “Koy,” the stunt coordinator, director, and actor boasts an eye-watering resume with over 130 film and TV credits to his name. We’re talking massive, multi-million-dollar spectacles: Twisters, Furious 7, Man of Steel, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Tropic Thunder, Daredevil, and Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon saga. And there’s no sign of him slowing down any time soon (thankfully). Most recently, Koy has been the mastermind keeping the chaos grounded on Prime Video’s ultra-violent superhero hit “The Boys“ and its spinoff “Gen V.” Having already bagged two Emmy wins for his jaw-dropping coordination, he’s currently in the running for a third nomination thanks to his work on the flagship Supe series.
