Nikki Phoenix Cast in Horror Movie Sequel, âIce Cream Man 2â |
LAS VEGAS, NV — Following the release of her EDM Album, Ballroom Zombies, and her fitness and health book Fit as Phoenix, Nikki Phoenix celebrates being cast in the cult classic horror sequel, Ice Cream Man 2. "I was so happy to get this opportunity," said Phoenix, "I love horror as a genre, and I knew this would be a fun project to be involved with. After being chased by a bull in the last mainstream movie I did, 21 and Over, this was the logical next step. I mean, how often do you get a chance to be killed by the Ice Cream Man in the sequel to the cult classic that I watched growing up?" The movie stars the original Ice Cream Man, MTV Lifetime Award-winning actor Clint Howard and will be produced by Paul Norman Productions. Fans of the classic horror film can join the Kickstarter campaign to get Ice Cream Man 2: Sundae Bloody Sundae into theaters. Also signed to the production is award winning and Hall of Fame director/photographer Miles Long, who not only shot the poster and the interviews for the movie and Kickstarter campaign, but will also be the Director of Photography for the movie. "I'm really enjoying being able to spend my time shooting both mainstream and adult," says Long. "I've always been a huge horror fan, and I love the challenge of tackling new projects and sharing ideas with folks while making movies. It makes me feel incredibly creative. It's also great to have the opportunity to show production people outside of adult that there are really talented people who love to make films and shoot photos, and while the content might be different, they approach their craft with the same level of professionalism and quality that folks in mainstream are used to, so we fit right in when we choose to work there." It’s been 20 years since Ice Cream Man was released on the big screen and introduced audiences to Howard’s mental-patient-turned-sweet-treat-scooper Gregory, who laced his frozen creations with bugs and choice bits of corpses before serving them up to unsuspecting kids out for summer fun. Now, independent filmmakers Howard and producer Norman Apstein have turned to Kickstarter to finance Ice Cream Man 2: Sundae Bloody Sundae, where the story ratchets up the horror quotient.
