A throwback to 1980s creature features, Joseph Kahn’s next movie is titled Ick, and Variety reports today that Brandon Routh and Mena Suvari will be leading the cast.
Variety’s report notes, “The film aims to evoke the timeless creature features of the 1980s with an ambitious arsenal of scares and comedy.”
The site also teases a blending of “old school prosthetics and state of the art visual effects.”
Joseph Kahn’s Ick centers on “Hank (Routh), a high school science teacher who still pines for his childhood sweetheart (Suvari). While discovering he may have a teenage daughter (Malina Weissman), Hank must grapple with a terrifying alien anomaly invading their small town.”
The film was written by Sam Laskey, Dan Koontz and Joseph Kahn.
“‘Ick’ is a movie that evokes primal fears about the world today, and best of all, it introduces a unique mysterious monster. I am thrilled that Interstellar has aligned to produce this modern creature feature that is challenging and escapist fun,” Kahn says of the film.
Joseph Kahn is the director of films including Torque, Bodied, and Detention.
