10 Upcoming Horror Movies That Made PERFECT Casting Choices

1. Samara Weaving - Over Your Dead Body

And finally we go from Margot Robbie to The Other Margot Robbie, aka Samara Weaving, who has carved out quite the place for herself as one of horror's most enticing scream queens in recent years.

While few were asking for a remake of Tommy Wirkola's riotous 2021 horror comedy The Trip, it at least gets top marks for its casting.

The original film starred Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie as a couple who have grown tired of one another, enough that each plots to kill the other during a cabin getaway. These roles will be played by Weaving and Jason Segel this time around, and considering how brilliantly Weaving has acquitted herself in horror-comedies such as The Babysitter, Ready or Not, and Borderline, it's easy to picture her slotting into the Rapace role quite perfectly.

This is a part that requires an actress who can be hilarious while getting their hands dirty with physically demanding action sequences, and damn, if Samara Weaving hasn't proven both over and over again in recent years.

Segel's great, too, but this is probably going to be The Weaving Show.
