Eli Roth Reveals Shocking Truth Behind ‘Ice Cream Man’—Most Scenes Not AI-Generated
Is it just me, or have we really reached the point where directors need to APOLOGIZE because they didn’t use enough AI? You’d think Eli Roth swirled sprinkles onto a sacred cow, not crafted a horror flick with—brace yourself—actual people. In a world where we half expect our popcorn to be CGI, it’s oddly refreshing (and maybe a bit hilarious?) to hear Roth fess up that his murderous ice cream concept wasn’t the brainchild of a digital overlord. I’m genuinely torn between laughing and crying at the thought of filmmakers now worrying their work might be, well, too human. Maybe the next Oscar will go to “Best Performance by an Algorithm”? If you want the (almost unbelievable) scoop on Roth’s chilly admission, LEARN MORE.

LOS ANGELES—In an apology to the artistic community, director Eli Roth admitted Monday that most of horror film Ice Cream Man was not made using AI. “I know this is a disappointment to many of my friends and fellow filmmakers, but this film was largely made using humans,” said Roth, who confirmed what many viewers had wondered after the trailer for his new movie appeared to show several shots not made with the use of generative AI. “I know this won’t be popular, but I came up with the idea for ice cream that turns children into homicidal maniacs all on my own and wrote the script as a pastiche of classic slasher films and recent horror hits without the assistance of an LLM. I’m sure this is tough to hear for a lot of artists, but the truth is that what you see on screen in Ice Cream Man is almost entirely created by humans.” Roth went on to specifically apologize to the effects artists who had lost out on job opportunities after having their names associated with the film.
