“A lot of folks ask me how an Impractical Joker can write horror,” Murr says in a statement. “One could argue that what they do to me on Jokers is horror. I’m so excited to be working with this incredible team and ensemble cast to bring our novel Don’t Move to the big screen.”
Adds Nelson, “I am thrilled to tackle a true horror film. The ensemble cast we have assembled for this movie is beyond talented. This story will break your heart and then rip it out of your rib cage. I am honored that Murr has trusted me with the script adaptation and direction of his first narrative feature film.”
David M. Wulf produces the film that hails from Murr’s new banner Impractical Studios and counts Jeremy Starline, Gina James, Lou Magrone, Rich Osiashvili and Brian Schell as executive producers. Ethan Berman is a co-producer, while Kylie Rohead associate produces.
Murray has been showcasing his improv and comedic chops since Impractical Jokers debuted in 2011. Stay tuned for more on Don’t Move and Murray’s foray into horror. That might include a name change; don’t confuse Don’t Move with this week’s Netflix release, also titled Don’t Move.
