Samara Weaving will star in The Trip remake
The 32-year-old actress and the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star, 44, will appear in the upcoming remake of the 2021 Norwegian comedy-thriller ‘I Onde Dager’, which follows a dysfunctional couple who travel to a remote cabin in a supposed effort to reconnect, though both have secret intentions to kill the other.

The cast also includes Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine, while ‘MacGruber’ filmmaker Jorma Taccone is set to helm the movie.
The original picture’s director Tommy Wirkola will serve as executive producer alongside Taccone, with Karen Gillan due to co-produce.
In a statement, Wirkola said: “I can’t wait to see Jorma bring his totally singular sensibility to the material.
“That, combined with this killer cast, makes me beyond excited that this film will truly stand out in the cinematic landscape.”
