Ick Cast & Director Explain Why The Film Is Meant To Be Watched In Its Classic Form [TIFF]

Joseph Kahn's new film Ick had its midnight premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, October 7, opening to a crowd of enthusiastic moviegoers. Brandon Routh stars as Hank, a high school science teacher whose football aspirations are ripped away following an ick-induced injury on the field. While most of the population appears unbothered by the disturbing anomaly consuming their town, Hank, and his student, Grace , worry about the ick's evolution.

Routh Believes Music Kept Hank Alive In Ick "That was his connection to that time, to his youth, and to Staci. It means a great deal to him." Screen Rant: Joseph, at the premiere you said you were watching the movie for the first time. What did it feel like to experience that with a live audience? Malina Weissman: I would definitely accept it. I know Grace doesn't, but I would probably just accept it.

Brandon Routh: Higher by Creed, the whole thing in the car is the pinnacle of Hank's experience to me because, if you think about it, music's probably the only thing that kept him alive all this time. That was his connection to that time, to his youth, and to Staci. It means a great deal to him, and it literally is the soundtrack of his life. I think that song is just an epic song, period. I've been a fan of it since it came out.

I know people always fight stuff like this, but it's the right tool because I want the actors to play it. I don't want other actors. I want the actual real people to be their 18-year-old self. And if we've got the technology to do it, let's do it. It's not taking away from humanity, it's actually letting the two actors be the characters.

With Ick being a satire, did you write this for moviegoers who are bored with classic film tropes, or for people who love them, but enjoy poking fun at the concepts? But if you have an open mind and an open heart, I think there's a good reward in here for you. And I believe in the audience, by the way. I think the audience wants to do this. The audience wants a movie like this, they just don't know it yet because they've only been taught to look at it from this very marketed, structured, social media enclaves of little tribes. And when I make movies, I try to break that, and this is no exception.
