Eli Roth On His Indie Studio's First Release ‘Jimmy And Stiggs' & The Company's Plan To Launch 'Four Releases A Year'
'I've always wanted to have my own shop where I could write, produce, direct, and now release my own films,' veteran horror filmmaker Eli Roth explains when quizzed on the origins of his newly launched, horror-focused indie studio The Horror Section. 'And we're off to a great start,' he adds, pointing to Jimmy and Stiggs, the company's first official release, and the latest feature from cult indie horror filmmaker Joe Begos, which hits cinemas next month. More from Deadline Pressman Film Delivers On Republic Fundraise With 'Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo' As Investor Platform Welcomes Eli Roth, Robert Rodriguez 'Thanksgiving' Star Nell Verlaque Shares Filming Update On Sequel 'Borderlands' Review: Cate Blanchett Rocking A Killer Red Wig Livens Up Eli Roth's Mess Of A Video Game Adaptation Written and directed by Begos, the film follows an out of work filmmaker called Jimmy who, after a shitstorm of bad news, spirals into an out of control bender in which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing they'll come back, he contacts his old friend Stiggs to help him gear up for war. The film debuted at Beyond Fest before playing Sitges. Roth describes the gory flick as 'one of those rare experiences' where a cinematic vision is brought to fruition by a 'filmmaker who's truly possessed.' 'He started shooting this film thinking it would be like maybe six weeks. Then it was six months, and it became four years of photography,' Roth says. 'Joe Begos is a filmmaker I love. He made Bliss, VFW, and Christmas Bloody Christmas. But like Ti West or some of these other directors that horror fans know about, he hasn't broken out into mainstream because his films haven't been supported theatrically.' Cult horror filmmaker West, best known for his cult X film series, was actually the person who recommended Roth check out Begos's film. 'He called me as soon as I announced the company and asked if I'd seen Joe's film. He described it as an unrated Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi, gore fest, that's completely insane, shot on film with all practical effects,' Roth says. 'So I reached out to Joe and asked what he was doing with the film. He wasn't sure because he knew it was too crazy for the studios, but that sounded right up my alley. Then I watched it, and I was genuinely stumped at how he did a lot of the stuff in the movie.' Roth says he has locked the backing of AMC and other major theatre chains despite the film being unrated, and The Horror Section is prepping to launch the film wide across the U.S.. 'I want to do 1500 or 1600 screens,' Roth says. 'We're going wide theatrical. We're trying to do what Terrifier 2 did. That's the model, where you spend a low marketing cost going right to the horror fans.' The theatrical market, Roth explains, will be the backbone of The Horror Section's business. 'I want to do four releases a year where we can be really selective,' he says. 'Movies I produce, direct, or acquire. And just give audiences an awesome and steady pipeline.' One of the next titles will be Ice Cream Man, written and directed by Roth. The filmmaker says he will begin shooting the film this summer, and it will tell the story of an 'ice cream man who comes to a town, and let's just say his ice cream is not as innocent as people think.' 'It's one of those ideas that I've had for a long time. I was gonna make this movie after Cabin Fever,' he says. 'I'm doing it low budget. I want to make it unrated and unhinged. I need to get a couple of those out of my system.' Jimmy and Stiggs opens August 15. You can see a behind-the-scenes look at the film below.

3 signs of a future Liv Morgan singles run dropped on WWE RAW
(Image Via WWE) Liv Morgan might return to becoming a singles competitor after huge hints showed on Monday Night RAW. Liv Morgan carried the WWE women's division on her back throughout 2024 and into 2025 as the WWE Women's World Champion. However, it has been a few months since she became a part of the tag team division with Raquel Rodriguez. The duo has won the titles twice this year. Not only that, Morgan has also been a part of the stable, Judgment Day, alongside her onscreen boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio. She made her return to Monday Night RAW on the May 26th edition after being away due to the filming of her new Hollywood film, 'Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo.' On her first night back, there were hints that she is set to split from her boyfriend, her tag team, and stable moving forward. Here are the three signs that indicate that Liv Morgan will soon return to being a singles performer: 3. Altercation with Raquel Rodriguez Liv Morgan had her return match on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW. She faced Kairi Sane in an exciting showdown and was at the top of her game, even after missing in-ring action for almost a month. Morgan was in control until Raquel Rodriguez got into an argument with Roxanne Perez, who came out, looking like she was trying to help Morgan. 2. Eyeing IYO Sky's title The events that led to Liv Morgan's match against Kairi Sane were due to a backstage segment. She and Raquel Rodriguez crossed paths with Kairi Sane and her former Damage CTRL cohort, IYO Sky, who is the reigning WWE Women's World Champion. Morgan mocked the duo and even eyed her title. This could be a huge hint that Morgan might be looking to regain the title and embark on a singles run to get away from the Judgment Day fiasco and solely focus on getting back on top. 1. Roxanne Perez growing closer to Dominik Mysterio Roxanne Perez made her debut as an official Monday Night RAW superstar last week and was introduced to the Judgment Day. She showed interest, especially in Dominik Mysterio with chicken tenders last week and even this week. This has led to a huge speculation that Morgan and Mysterio will be splitting soon. With Perez growing fondness by the Judgment Day members and Dom also showing a little interest, Liv Morgan's relationship with him and the faction can come to an end and mark her returns a singles competitor.
