Lionsgate Gets High Concept With Comedy Slasher ‘You’ll Be The Death Of Me’
Am I showing my hacky side when I say that I actually look forward to movies like You’ll Be The Death Of Me? The concept is simple and fun, and if done right could be a pitch-perfect slasher. Of course, things are rarely done right and I’m usually disappointed with how movies like this turn out, but it’s always better to hope, right?
Anyway, Lionsgate/Summit bought the slasher comedy from Mark Hammer (Two Night Stand) and will be producing the movie alongside Mandeville Films (Warm Bodies).
