Ever since there’s been a modern film industry, there have been remakes. Stories have been retold over and over again to varying degrees of success, ranging from misfires to new classics that genuinely add something to the story. If a newly-released trailer is any indication, a new film arriving in the next few months just might be the latter.
This week, Independent Film Company released the first teaser trailer for Over Your Dead Body, ahead of its premiere at SXSW in March and theatrical debut in April. The film is an English-language adaptation of The Trip (I onde dager), the 2021 Norwegian film starring Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie that became a cult classic after streaming on Netflix. This time around, Jason Segel and Samara Weaving are starring in the main roles, as a couple tries to reconnect while on vacation, only to find out they have plans to kill each other.
