This film is screening as part of the 2026 Florida Film Festival, happening April 10–19.
Director/Executive Producer Jorma Taccone will join us for an extended Q&A following the film!
Jason Segel and Samara Weaving are a slightly deranged and bitterly unhappy Hollywood couple. He’s a director who has never reached his full potential, and she’s an unfulfilled actress trying to get her career back on track. Looking to get away for a weekend retreat at a remote cabin— supposedly to reconnect—each has secret plans to kill the other. But best laid plans go magnificently awry when they run into a trio of fugitives led by Timothy Olyphant and Julliette Lewis.
Based on Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola’s cult hit The Trip (2021), SNL-alum—and The Lonely Island co-founder—Jorma Taccone (Popstar, MacGruber) and the cast blend gut-busting comedic set pieces with jaw-dropping WTF moments to deliver one of the most outrageous and slap-dash comedies of the year. A riotous collision of the blackest humor, over-the-top violence, and star-powered chaos, Over Your Dead Body is a wild, unhinged ride that proves sometimes the best relationship therapy is total, glorious mayhem.
