\n\tXYZ Films<\/a> and CAA Media Finance inked a deal with Samuel Goldwyn Films for U.S. rights to \u201cKill Me,\u201d a murder mystery comedy film from writer-director Peter Warren starring Charlie Day<\/a> and Allison Williams<\/a>. A theatrical release is planned for Spring 2027. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe official logline for \u201cKill Me\u201d reads, \u201cJimmy (Day) didn\u2019t try to kill himself. Or at least, he\u2019s pretty sure he didn\u2019t. With the help of a reluctant 911 operator (Williams), he sets out on an amateur investigation to solve the ultimate mystery: is he being stalked by a killer, or chasing himself?\u201d Other cast members include Giancarlo Esposito, Aya Cash, Jessica Harper, David Krumholtz and Tony Cavalero.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with Samuel Goldwyn Films to bring \u2018Kill Me\u2019 to US audiences,\u201d XYZ Films said in a statement. \u201cPeter expertly blends dark comedy, mystery and suspense with terrific performances from Charlie, Allison and the entire cast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers for \u201cKill Me\u201d include Day, Maxime Cottray for XYZ Films, Nate Bolotin, Keith Goldberg, Mike Richardson, Natalie Metzger for Vanishing Angle and Warren. Williams, Esposito, Paul Schwake, Kasey Adler, Vanishing Angle\u2019s Matt Miller, Timo Argillander and IPR.VC\u2019s Andrea Scarso serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCharlie Day and Alison Williams deliver performances that are funny, surprising and moving and director Peter Warren has made a dark comedy with real heart. We\u2019re thrilled to be partnering with XYZ Films to bring \u2018Kill Me\u2019 to audiences across the country.\u201d said Peter Goldwyn, president of Samuel Goldwyn Films.<\/p>\n

\n\tDay is best known for his work on FX\u2019s long-running, raunchy sitcom \u201cIt\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,\u201d which launched its 18th season in August. On the big screen, his recent credits include \u201cWildwood,\u201d \u201cThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie\u201d and \u201cHoney Don\u2019t!\u201d Williams broke out starring in HBO\u2019s coming-of-age drama series \u201cGirls,\u201d which is getting the reboot treatment<\/a> in 2027. Her recent movie credits include \u201cRegretting You\u201d and \u201cM3GAN 2.0.\u201d Coming up, she has the sci-fi thriller \u201cHomewrecker\u201d with Michelle Randolph and \u201cTangled Up in Blue\u201d from Jamie Adams.<\/p>\n
