Sony Picture’s Death At A Funeral Invites You To Make Your Own Eulogy Dan Koelsch, March 24, 2010March 24, 2010 Director Neil LaBute has helmed some pretty strange (Wicker Man) and awful (Lakeview Terrace) films, but next month’s Death at a Funeral seems to be the most ill-conceived of them all. However, this is a star-filled remake of the 2007 British comedy that continues the odd pairing of death and humor, this time focusing a black family. Find out how Sony Pictures is letting you get in on the fun (?) after the jump. When you go to DieLaughingNow.com, you can write your own eulogy, Mad Libs style.
