‘Wild Horse Nine,’ Director Martin McDonagh
McDonagh’s last two features — Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Banshees of Inisherin — both world-premiered in Venice’s competition, both won the festival’s screenplay prize, and together they collected 16 Oscar nominations.
McDonagh’s new one sends CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) from Santiago to Easter Island shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, dispatched by their bureau chief MJ (Steve Buscemi).
Tom Waits and Parker Posey co-star.
Among the island’s iconic statues, dark pasts, present conspiracies and Chris’s bond with two rebellious students conspire to send the trip sideways.
Produced by Blueprint and Film4, the film has been set for a November 6 release by Searchlight — with a trailer already out since March.
