Raucous splatstick comedy Over Your Dead Body puts the fun in dysfunction for a married couple, and it’s marching down the aisles to arrive on VOD next week.
Over Your Dead Body will be available for rent or purchase on Digital on May 26.
Jason Segel and Samara Weaving star in this remake of Tommy Wirkola‘s 2021 Norwegian film The Trip.
In the film, “a dysfunctional couple (Segel and Weaving) head to a remote cabin to supposedly reconnect, but each has secret plans to kill the other.” What the logline leaves out is that the couple’s plans to commit murder get derailed by the arrival of actual killers, and violent mayhem ensues.“
The Lonely 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.
Timothy Olyphant (“Alien: Earth”), Paul Guilfoyle (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Keith Jardine (Love Lies Bleeding), and Juliette Lewis (“Yellowjackets”) also star.
Over Your Dead Body is rated R for “strong bloody violence, gore, sexual assault, pervasive language, and sexual content.”
Taccone’s comedy earns that rating. I wrote in my SXSW review, “Everyone takes a nasty pummeling here, and the gruesome deaths are as wonderfully executed with an emphasis on practical effects. Even the film’s characters are genuinely surprised by the amount of pain they can inflict or receive, which in itself elicits laughs.“
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.
Executive producers include Kjetil Omberg, Jørgen Storm Rosenberg, Tommy Wirkola, Jorma Taccone, Maxime Cottray, Nate Bolotin, Timo Argillander, and Andrea Scarso.
