Breakups Are All In the Execution on New ‘Over Your Dead Body’ Posters [SXSW Exclusive]
Breakups are all in execution on the new Mutant poster for Over Your Dead Body that we’re exclusively unveiling ahead of the violent action comedy’s world premiere at SXSW tomorrow night.
Over Your Dead Body releases in theaters on April 24 via Independent Film Company.
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.
If the posters below are any indication, featuring art by Matt Ryan Tobin, expect a very violent breakup ahead.
Timothy Olyphant (“Alien: Earth”), Paul Guilfoyle (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Keith Jardine (Love Lies Bleeding), and Juliette Lewis (“Yellowjackets”) also star.
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.
“Jorma Taccone stands as one of the most creative and reliably brilliant voices in comedy, and we are delighted to collaborate with him and our friends at 87North, XYZ, and Resolute Films on Over Your Dead Body,” said Head of IFC Entertainment Group Scott Shooman. “The film is a dark, twisted, and riotous action comedy, with a killer cast – a perfect recipe to delight audiences on the big screen.”
Said director Jorma Taccone, “I am THRILLED to have Independent Film Company as a partner on releasing Over Your Dead Body. I am equally pumped to have audiences watch this movie in real live theaters and love that IFC understands how important it is for a movie this kick ass and full of twists to have a real theatrical release.”
Look for the new posters on ground at SXSW, and stay tuned for our coverage.

Maika Monroe (Longlegs) and director David Robert Mitchell are reuniting for It Follows sequel They Follow, and Deadline brings us the latest casting news this week.
Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Justine Lupe (Succession), Anna Mirodin (Ivan), Jayne Taini (Unbelievable), Michael Gandolfini (Daredevil: Born Again), Tom Pecinka (Stereophonic), Melora Walters (Magnolia), Ben Krieger (Song Sung Blue), Natalie Shinnick (The Brutalist) and Jan Hoag (The Fabelmans) have joined the cast this week.
Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) has also been confirmed to join They Follow.
Deadline notes in their report this afternoon, “Plot details for the long-anticipated sequel are under wraps, other than it taking place a decade after the events of the original film.”
They Follow is expected to enter production this Summer. Stay tuned for updates.
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
“It’s very different from the original,” Monroe told Discussing Film. “The original is a little more heightened and dramatic, and this is really quite grounded and follows the story of these two women that are mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was really an interesting take on it.”
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
They Follow will feature a new score from Disasterpeace.
