This other ‘Don’t Move’ is based on the popular 2020 novel authored by Darren Wearmouth and James Murray. You might be clueless about who Murray is if you don’t watch comedy shows. He’s one of the funny guys from Impractical Jokers!
The shooting of the film concluded in Kansas City just last Friday. Maclain Nelson, the person behind successful projects like Vamp U, directed the film while also co-writing the screenplay with Wearmouth and Murray.
The story of ‘Don’t Move’ revolves around a character named Megan Forrester, played by Fonseca. Following a family tragedy, Megan joins her church group on a camping trip. However, the group’s venture goes awry when they find themselves stranded in a part of the woods prowled by a deadly predator.

Whipping Up Some Excitement for ‘Don’t Move’

Director Nelson can’t contain his excitement either. He’s thrilled to be crafting a ‘true horror film’. He’s all praise for the cast and claims the story will not only break but ‘rip’ viewers’ hearts out. He’s also honored to have been entrusted with the script adaptation and direction of Murray’s first narrative feature film.
