Kansas City’s Big Slick Event Inspires and Hosts New Horror-Comedy Film

Kansas City, MO, September 9, 2026 — The annual “Big Slick” celebrity charity weekend in Kansas City has become more than just a fundraising event; it has now served as the inspiration and principal production location for a new horror-comedy film. The movie, titled “Don’t Move,” was conceived backstage during the “Big Slick” event itself.

The brainchild of hosts Rob Riggle and James “Murr” Murray, “Don’t Move” was developed amidst the bustling activities of the charity weekend. Following its conception, the production team brought the film project to life within the Kansas City area, marking a significant local investment in filmmaking.

Rob Riggle further integrated the film’s promotion with the charity’s mission. He utilized the event’s charity auction to offer a unique fundraising opportunity: a VIP experience for a movie premiere. This initiative aimed to raise funds for Children’s Mercy Kansas City while providing a special incentive for donors.

The development and filming of “Don’t Move” in Kansas City underscore a growing trend of Kansas City natives and collaborators returning to their roots to produce major film projects. This practice not only supports the local economy but also strengthens the region’s growing reputation as a viable hub for entertainment production.

The specifics regarding the film’s release date, cast beyond Riggle and Murray, and the total amount raised through the VIP movie premiere auction were not detailed in the provided information. Further details on the film’s plot and production timeline are expected as it moves closer to release.
