Taccone Ends Ten-Year Directorial Hiatus with SXSW Thriller-Comedy
Jorma Taccone explains his decade-long pause from directing features and discusses his return with Over Your Dead Body, a bloody home-invasion comedy-thriller (based on Norway’s The Trip) starring Jason Segel and Samara Weaving. The SXSW premiere won the Audience Award, and Taccone reflects on moving between TV and film, the dual theatrical/streaming release, and playful notes about poster art and titles as he pursues a more commercial direction for his work.
