Do you like your comedy dark? If so, good news: The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone has a new movie just for you.
The director behind such outrageous and hilarious movies as MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has teamed up with Shrinking‘s Jason Segel and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come‘s Samara Weaving for a darkly funny action thriller about a romance that has festered. Sure, there was presumably a time when this couple was deeply enamored with each other. But by the time they trek to a remote cabin in the woods for a relaxing getaway, they want each other dead more than they want to just break up. Well, at least that’s one thing they still have in common?
But, wait — the trailer above also features Timothy Olyphant and Juliette Lewis. So what else is going on here? Well, fans of Tommy Wirkola’s gnarly comedy The Trip may have some idea. This is Taccone’s remake of that Scandinavian offering, which had the warring couple interrupted by a trio of dangerous home invaders. However, having seen The Trip, I suspect Taccone will make Over Your Dead Body his own, based on this trailer alone.
Ahead of Over Your Dead Body‘s theatrical release on April 24, this comedy will premiere at the SXSW film festival next month. Look for Mashable’s coverage out of the fest, starting March 12.
