Ick Update (2026)
Updated July 2026. The alien-invasion comedy-horror that closed streets in downtown Brenham for filming went on to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2024, before opening in U.S. theaters on July 24, 2025. Directed by Joseph Kahn and starring Brandon Routh, Malina Weissman, and Mena Suvari, Ick follows a small-town science teacher and his students battling a spreading alien organism, playing on genre touchstones like The Blob. The Brenham shoot, which required city coordination for street closures around the courthouse square in August 2023, was one of several small-town Texas locations the production used to give the film its lived-in, Americana backdrop.
