To date, Over Your Dead Body is certainly Jorma Taccone’s darkest venture yet behind the camera. The action-comedy is a remake of Tommy Wirkola’s Norwegian horror The Trip (2021), and at SXSW 2026, where the movie celebrated its world premiere, and the Overlook Film Festival, where Taccone spoke with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, one of the most burning questions was: Why remake a movie so soon, and why this movie? Surprisingly, the answer to both of those questions has a lot to do with Akiva Schaffer’s 2007 cult favorite comedy Hot Rod, starring the rest of The Lonely Island, Taccone and Andy Samberg.
