Exclusive Clip From Jorma Taccone’s ‘Over Your Dead Body’ Released – Starring Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Paul Guilfoyle
A new clip has been released from the film Over Your Dead Body, giving audiences another look at the dark comedy thriller now playing in theaters. The film comes from director Jorma Taccone and is based on a remake of the 2021 film The Trip.
The movie mixes action, comedy, and thriller elements. It follows Dan Burton, a struggling filmmaker who has not had much success since his first movie. He is dealing with personal and financial problems and is stuck doing small directing jobs. At the same time, his marriage is falling apart.
The story takes a dark turn when Dan makes a plan involving his wife Lisa during a weekend trip to a remote cabin. What follows is a chaotic series of events that spirals out of control.

The film stars Jason Segel as Dan Burton and Samara Weaving as Lisa Burton. The cast also includes Paul Guilfoyle, Keith Jardine, Timothy Olyphant, and Juliette Lewis.
The film went through several changes during development. It was first announced in 2021 as an English-language remake of The Trip, with different creative plans before Jorma Taccone took over directing duties in 2024. The script was written by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney.
Filming took place in Finland in late 2024, with much of the story set around a remote lakeside cabin. The film was later picked up for distribution and officially released in April 2026 after its festival premiere earlier in the year.
The newly released clip gives a closer look at the film’s tone, which blends tension with dark humor. It highlights the unstable relationships between the main characters and hints at how quickly things fall apart once the plan begins.
This looks like a film that leans heavily into chaos and dark comedy, especially with a cast that has strong experience in both comedy and dramatic roles. It will be interesting to see how audiences react to the mix of humor and violence in this kind of story. What do you think about this movie and its style? Share your thoughts in the comments.
