Jason Segel and Samara Weaving go head-to-head in a new dark comedy.
PEOPLE has the exclusive trailer for Over Your Dead Body ahead of its March premiere at SXSW. Segel, 46, and Weaving, 33, star as a married couple who both resolve to end tension in their marriage by plotting to kill the other.
"A dysfunctional couple head to a remote cabin to supposedly reconnect, but each has secret plans to kill the other," teases a synopsis for the movie.
Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle and Keith Jardine also star in the movie, directed by The Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone in his first effort as a movie director since the 2016's Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.
"I've never laughed harder on a movie set," Weaving tells PEOPLE. "It's almost impossible to keep a straight face when you're across from Jason Segel improvising and Jorma Taccone is standing behind the monitors firing off insane ideas. And I genuinely admire the entire cast. The strongest performance I gave on that set was convincing everyone I wasn't completely starstruck by them."

Taccone, 48, says the movie is simply "funny, bloody [and] unexpected" and notes that the film is a remake of a 2021 Norwegian movie titled The Trip, directed by Tommy Wirkola. (Wirkola, 46, is credited as an executive producer and co-writer here.)
"We went to saunas and jumped into freezing-cold lakes together. We made stupid home movies and music videos together. We all had Thanksgiving together in Finland," Taccone says of filming Over Your Dead Body.
"I was the all-powerful father figure and they were my obedient children who listened to every word out of my mouth. Just kidding about that last part," he jokes. "We had a blast together, and it was a joy to make."

For Weaving, the high point of the new film is a blend of horror and comedy that will target "the same muscle in your stomach," she says. "Everyone will leave the theater with a six-pack. That is a 100 percent Jorma Taccone guarantee," she adds. "Please sue Jorma if you don't leave with a six-pack."
Over Your Dead Body will make its world premiere at SXSW on March 14. The movie is in theaters April 24.
