That's A Lot Of Psychos: The Wonderful Cast Of Seven Psychopaths

I’ll give you the plot synopsis first:

From Oscar-winning writer and director Martin McDonagh comes a star-studded, blood-drenched, black comedy. Marty is a struggling writer who dreams of finishing his screenplay Seven Psychopaths. All he needs is a little focus and inspiration. Billy is Marty’s best friend, an unemployed actor and part time dog thief, who wants to help Marty by any means necessary. Hans is Billy’s partner in crime. A religious man with a violent past. Charlie is the psychopathetic gangster whose beloved dog, Billy and Hans have just stolen. Charlie’s unpredictable, extremely violent and wouldn’t think twice about killing anyone or anything associated with the theft. Marty is going to get all the focus and inspiration he needs, just as long as he lives to tell the tale.

I like it. Zany, violent black comedy. Added bonus: Martin McDonagh is the director of the brilliant In Bruges.

And now, to tent your shorts or dampen your seat a little more? The cast. Colin Farrell plays Marty, Sam Rockwell is his pal Billy (and I’m praying for a dance scene), and Christopher Walken is Charlie the gangster. Mickey Rourke was once attached to the film as well, but he backed out this week on account of being fucking crazy. Probably not enough parrots or chihuahuas or something. In any event, he was replaced by Woody Harrelson. Additionally, the disgustingly attractive Olga Kurylenko signed on recently as well. Oh, and Tom Waits.

Man, I need a drink.

You've got to stick to your principles.

I own and have read every play McDonagh has ever written. I drove to a shithole bar in Philly to see one of them in staged reading. It's my dream to play any character at all in any of his work. I adore In Bruges.

You bet your ass I will be there for this.

I'll just add to the chorus that I'm totally stoked to see this, and very happy Rourke dropped out.

The only thing that could make this better is if the dog is a Corgi.

Colin Farrell and Martin McDonagh teaming up again? I am so there.

Colin Firth AND Sam Rockwell?

YES PLEASE.

Tom Waits too?
Holy shit.

@KatSings, Martin McDonagh is without question my favourite living playwright. I saw A Behanding in Spokane on Broadway with Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken, and I was THIS CLOSE to getting to play Michal in The Pillowman, with my best friend as Katurian. But the company that was going to do it ran out of money.

Wow, Aislinn, who mentioned Firth?
