Jason Segel (“Shrinking”) and Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) give new meaning to the phrase “toxic relationship” as they try to kill one another, as well as a group of lethal intruders, in the Over Your Dead Body red-band trailer.
A remake of the 2021 Norwegian film The Trip, the gory action comedy thriller opens in theaters on April 24 via Independent Film Company.
When miserable couple Dan and Lisa retreat to a remote cabin for a romantic reset, each arrives with a secret plan to murder the other. Their carefully plotted traps and counterplots quickly unravel when a dangerous crew crashes the weekend with plans of their own.
As the toxic getaway spirals into chaotic carnage, Dan and Lisa must survive the intruders, each other, and figure out if they want to save their marriage or survive it.
The Lonley Island’s Jorma Taccone (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, MacGruber) directs from a script by fellow “Saturday Night Live” alumni Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney (Pizza Movie).
Timothy Olyphant (“Alien: Earth”), Paul Guilfoyle (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Keith Jardine (Love Lies Bleeding), and Juliette Lewis (“Yellowjackets”) also star.
From 87North, XYZ Films, and Resolute Films, the film is produced by Kelly McCormick, David Leitch, Aram Tertzakian, Nick Spicer, Guy Danella, and Lee Kim produce.
Executive produces include Kjetil Omberg, Jørgen Storm Rosenberg, Tommy Wirkola, Jorma Taccone, Maxime Cottray, Nate Bolotin, Timo Argillander, and Andrea Scarso.
The film is rated R for “strong bloody violence, gore, sexual assault, pervasive language, and sexual content.”
Over Your Dead Body premiered at SXSW last month, where it won the Audience Award. Upcoming festival screenings include Beyond Chicago, Overlook Film Festival, and RiverRun International Film Festival.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Over Your Dead Body is one of the funniest films of the year; it happens to be one of its bloodiest, too.”
