LOS ANGELES and DENVER - June 5, 2025 - Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of content to theatrical partners worldwide, announced today director Joseph Kahn’s latest film, ICK, the highly anticipated horror comedy starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, Scott Pilgrim), Malina Weissman (Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events), and Mena Suvari (American Beauty, American Pie), is coming to theatres nationwide July 27, 28, and 29.  Prior to that, Fathom will screen ICK in select theatres in New York and Los Angeles for a one-week theatrical run starting Thursday, July 24. Featuring music from American Rejects, Paramore, and Blink 182, the creature feature movie made its critically acclaimed world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and its U.S. debut at last year’s Fantastic Fest.

 

From acclaimed director Joseph Kahn comes his latest film, ICK, the pulpy horror comedy bursting with splatterly bedlam starring Brandon Routh, Mena Suvari, and Malina Weissman. For almost two decades, a viscous vine-like growth known colloquially as “The Ick” has benignly crept into every nook and cranny of American life while the residents of small town Eastbrook remain blasé about its existence. The exceptions are former high school football star-turned-hapless science teacher Hank (Routh) and his sardonically perceptive student Grace (Weissman) who are thrown together by Grace’s mom Staci’s (Suvari) closely-guarded secret and a mutual suspicion that the Ick is about to unleash some monstrous mayhem. A wild ride driven by a power punk spirit, ICK is a dizzyingly fun and hilariously grotesque homage to throwback PG horror flicks, as well as an ode to Millennial nostalgia manifested in soundtrack needle drops by American Rejects, Paramore, and Blink 182.

 

“Fathom is thrilled to bring the award-winning creature feature and horror comedy, ICK, to the big screen,” said Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer for Fathom Entertainment. “With the talented Joseph Kahn at the helm, a great cast, and an incredible rock soundtrack, the highly anticipated ICK, is primed to have wide appeal to many fanbases and be a popular addition to the summer slate.”

 

 

ICK is the latest feature film from award-winning film director Kahn, known for the 2017 feature Bodied produced by Eminem, which earned audience awards at the Toronto International Film Festival, AFI Fest, and Fantastic Fest, as well as the cult films Torque (2004) and Detention (2012). He is also a renowned Grammy-winning music video director for his work with artists such as Taylor Swift, Eminem, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, U2, and more.

 

Also starring Harrison Cone, Debra Wilson, Taia Sophia, Zeke Jones, and Jeffrey Fahey, ICK is written by Samuel Laskey (The Guardians of Justice (Will Save You!)), Joseph Kahn, and Dan Koontz (C.C. Unit). Producers are Steven Schneider, Joseph Kahn, Peter Trinh, Joe Heath, David Kang, Adi Shankar.

 

Tickets for ICK will be available later this month at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).

WITH THIS FEATURE-LENGTH PORTRAIT, WINNER OF THE

1987 ACADEMY AWARD® FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE,

NOW RESTORED IN 4K

PREMIERES ON VOD & LEADING DIGITAL OUTLETS

"Critic's Pick! An all-star roster of interviewees, including the luminaries

Mel Tormé and Buddy Rich, contributes to an unfailingly entertaining saga."

-- Glenn Kenny, The New York Times


"The film remains a brilliant portrait of a difficult man,

an artist who was never happy with himself or anyone else."

-- Judy Wolfe, POV Magazine

SYNOPSIS

 

Outspoken, manipulative, independent thinking and oftentimes controversial, Artie Shaw (1910-2004) was one of the most popular stars of the Swing Era, who famously broke the color barrier by hiring the legendary Billie Holiday, Hot Lips Page and Roy Eldridge for his bands. His complex love-hate relationship with his own celebrity caused him to walk away from performing almost as many times as he walked away from his marriages.

Winner of the 1986 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, ARTIE SHAW: TIME IS ALL YOU’VE GOT portrays the restless life and five-decade career of the gifted clarinetist/bandleader known as the “King of the Clarinet.” Anchored by an incisive interview recorded when he was 72 years old, this entertaining portrait is much more than a jazz film; it is the insightful story of a brilliant and complex individual.

4K picture restoration by Patrick Duchesne, Frank Biasi, and Jim Fleming at Picture Shop (Toronto). Sound restoration by Daniel Pellerin. 4K and soundtrack restoration generously donated by Donald Hicks (coordinated by Bradly Torreano) and Telefilm Canada, in partnership with the Toronto International Film Festival.

“A film of monumental resolve and ambition.” – MUBI

“Feminist masterwork.” – The Guardian

“Triumph of artistic ambition over insurmountable obstacles.”
– The Financial Times

“A visionary journey through female protest and defiance … A landmark film.”
– Elhum Shakerifar, BFI


Synopsis: Combining fictional drama, archival footage, and fantasy sequences, LEILA AND THE WOLVES follows a young Lebanese woman in modern London as she time-travels through the 20th century, observing the place of Arab women in social struggles and anti-colonial movements in Lebanon and Palestine.
 

The legendary films of Lebanese filmmaker Heiny Srour, a body of searing feminist revolutionary works depicting the Middle East in the 70s and 80s, come to theaters in new restorations. In addition to LEILA AND THE WOLVES, Srour’s earlier work, the seminal 1974 feature documentary THE HOUR OF LIBERATION HAS ARRIVED—the first film by an Arab woman ever selected for the Cannes Film Festival—has also been newly restored and will screen at BAM alongside LEILA. The special engagement offers a rare opportunity to experience both of Srour’s landmark films together on the big screen in their crisp new iteration for the first time with the legendary filmmaker, flying in exclusively from Paris for the opening weekend.
