John Malkovich is a loose cannon in the trailer for Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine
Wild Horse Nine
Martin McDonagh is coming off of the critical darling The Banshees of Inisherin with Wild Horse Nine. The director is partnering with Searchlight Pictures again after working with them on another critical darling, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. McDonagh writes and directs the film, which sports a cast that includes John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi, Mariana di Girolamo, Ailín Salas, with Tom Waits, and Parker Posey. Searchlight Pictures has just unveiled the humorous trailer to the film.
The official synopsis reads,
“Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island’s iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris’s newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.”
Producers on the film include McDonagh, Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin and Anita Overland.
International talent
Tom Waits is reunited with McDonagh, along with Rockwell, since their collaboration on Seven Psychopaths. Joining Waits on Wild Horse Nine is Mariana Di Girólamo, Ailín Salas and Paola Giannini. Giannini is known in Chilean cinema for her performances in films like Purasangre, in which she received a nomination for an Altazor Award. Salas is an Argentine actress who has appeared in film and TV productions in her native country, such as Luis Ortega’s Lulu, Boni Bonita, Abrir puertas y ventanas, and En terapia.
Glowing on McDonaugh
Searchlight President Matthew Greenfield speaks about working with McDonagh again, “It’s a privilege to work again with the incomparable Martin McDonagh who, with Wild Horse Nine, once again masterfully blends emotional nuance with razor-sharp dark comedy. Having assembled this exceptional cast and talented crew—many of whom we’ve had the great pleasure of working with before—we couldn’t be more excited for Martin to take the world on this cinematic journey.”
Graham Broadbent for Blueprint Pictures, who is also producing the project, adds, “Martin is a brilliant and singular filmmaker who we’ve been lucky to work with over a number of films. Each time he brings together the very best creative talent, and Wild Horse Nine feels set to be another amazing adventure for us all.”
Wild Horse Nine rides into theaters on November 6.
