Charlie Day to Star in Dark Comedy ‘Kill Me’ for XYZ Films

Writer, director, and actor Charlie Day has been set to star in the dark comedy Kill Me, directed and written by Peter Warren (The Auteur).

Jimmy is pretty sure he didn’t do it… maybe. Together with Margot, the 911 operator who took his call, Jimmy sets out on a mission to solve a vitally important whodunit: did someone try to kill him, or are they chasing the specter of depression? Kill Me is a gripping, hilarious, and deeply moving murder mystery.

Day is best known for the iconic role of Charlie in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, which is the longest-running live-action comedy series on TV, as well as for roles in the features The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Horrible Bosses, The LEGO Movie, and the recent Fool’s Paradise, which he wrote, directed and starred in.

“When we first read Peter Warren’s script, we were impressed with his honest portrayal of depression and mental health, while still delivering a great mystery with plenty of humor. Charlie Day, with his skill at balancing the fragility of the human experience with incredible comedic energy,  is the perfect person to anchor this ‘two-hander.’  We couldn’t be more excited about working on this film with our friends at XYZ,” said Mike Richardson.

“We knew the moment we read this wonderful and hilarious script from Peter Warren that it has the potential to find a wide-reaching audience. Charlie Day was born to play the role of Jimmy, and we can’t wait to bring this film to life next year with our friends over at Dark Horse Entertainment,” said XYZ Films.
