WT Deals: Screen Gems to Adapt W. Maxwell Prince’s Horror Anthology Comic Book ‘Ice Cream Man’

Weintraub client W. Maxwell Prince recently sold the film rights for his horror anthology comic book, Ice Cream Man, to Sony genre label Screen Gems. Wednesday, creators and writers of the new Beetlejuice movie, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, will produce alongside Aaron Schmidt. Prince will serve as executive producer.

The comic book consists of a series of loosely connected stories that all share the common link of a mysterious ice cream man named Rick who possesses inexplicable powers which he uses upon unsuspecting people.

W. Maxwell Prince and Ice Cream Man are represented by Weintraub shareholder Matt N. Sugarman.
