Makes Me Feel Mighty Real: Farrell, Walken, Rockwell and Rourke Join McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths

If you loved Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges as much as I did, I’ll assume your heart will do the same little dance as mine when you read this news. First, a small aside; Mister McDonagh, please put your hot self in one of your movies because, DUDE! You are like a more kickass version of Sting, all steely blue eyes and intensity.

Back to business. So, clever boy that he is, McDonagh is assembling the cast for his next film, Seven Psychopaths and he’s rounding up actual psychopaths. How can it go wrong?

Bam!

I mean, really, just throw these guys in a room and imagine what would happen. Black.comedy.gold. Reuniting In Bruges producers, Tessa Ross, Graham Broadbent and Peter Czernin, Seven Psychopaths follows a screenwriter (Farrell) who gets caught up in his friends’ (Walken, Rockwell, Rourke) hair-brained, dognapping scheme. Real life dog lover and champion, Rourke plays a gangster whose own dog disappears, causing “things to take a turn for the worse.” Just this little bit of information has my heart all aflutter and I cannot wait to see who rounds out the seven (Bring back Ralph Fiennes!).

Seven Psychopaths is up for sale at Cannes. Me, I’m going to go sit and wait by the theater right now.

Oh boy, I loves me some Walken and Rockwell action but this looks iffy as hell. Wasn't Dennis Leary available?

Colin Farrell makes me want to loosen my stays.

(Happy now RobP?)

Slut.

If you must, please use slattern, but only if you must.

Rockwell and Walken? Together? This is going to be badass.

If I just read the plot synopsis on it's own, I can't imagine myself giving a damn, but when it's surrounded by these people!

Plus, I like your Ralph "YOU'RE A FUCKIN' INANIMATE OBJECT" Fiennes suggestion.

This is fantastic news. also is hair-bained a word? shouldn't it be hare-brained? Or have i missed something? also also now i'm imagining a hairy brain and that is going to haunt my nightmares forever. Along with that one time i heard my gandparents have sex.

Aw man, I was hoping it was based on the comic book Seven Psychopaths: an inmate at a British insane asylum during WWII convinces a group of officers to allow him to put together a group of Seven expendable (and insane) Asylum Inmates to parachute into Germany and assassinate Hitler.

It was really quite fun. Finding out it's about a hare-brained dognapping scheme is really disappointing.

This just made me super pregnant.
I mean...just...I'm so excited!

Very happy, Mrs. Julien! Almost as happy as this movie will hopefully make me. In Bruges is the titz. And while I love the word "slattern," I shall endeavor to not call you that.

"Harlot" has a nice ring to it, though...

/zing?

Hell to the fuck to the yes

Faithless jade manages to sound classy too.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at May 12, 2011 8:00 PM

I'll be right there waiting with you. This is a perfect storm.

Posted by: moppy at May 12, 2011 8:48 PM

YES for Sam Rockwell.

Love. Him.

marie, from what I know (and many people can confirm that is very little) both spellings are acceptable.

Posted by: Cindy at May 12, 2011 9:25 PM

I can't wait.

The psychopath going psycho about his pet sounds a lot like The Lieutenant of Inishmore, but that's probably my favorite play, so I'm okay with that.

Posted by: fracas at May 13, 2011 1:21 AM

fracas, I had the exact same thought. Mixing and matching that play with In Bruges? I'm comfortable with this. Actually, I want to have seen this movie yesterday and it hasn't been made yet. So...yes. I support this. A lot.

Posted by: KatSings at May 13, 2011 8:14 AM

Mmmmmm Farrell.

Stays: LOOSENED. BAM.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at May 13, 2011 9:31 AM

So, will this movie contain a Walken versus Rockwell dance-off?

No? Damn.

Posted by: Roundapples at May 13, 2011 10:49 PM

Sounds good... but when I read the title, I thought they were doing an adaptation of this:

...which would have been pretty awesome too. But I guess kinda redundant after 'Basterds' and 'Valkyrie'.
