Must Watch: Hilarious First Trailer for ‘Seven Psychopaths’
Back in 2008, Colin Farrell teamed up with little known director Martin McDonagh for what was probably the best comedy of that year, In Bruges. It’s a dark comedy that still makes me giggle like a little school girl to this very day, and if you haven’t watched this marvelous movie, you should fix that very quickly.
McDonagh and Farrell are teaming up yet again, and they’re delivering another comedy with this year’s Seven Psychopaths. While In Bruges was mainly a three man show, Psychopaths opens up to a ensemble that are all connected to the kidnapping of a Shih Tzu. If that sounds a bit crazy, don’t worry, it is.
While I expect this to be more lighthearted than Bruges, I’m sure McDonagh will still be able to keep it grounded enough to prevent it from being over-the-top. Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, and Christopher Walken all look they had one hell of a time making this film, and it adds yet another level excitement to this film. The film also stars Abbie Cornish, Tom Waits, and Olga Kurylenko.
Seven Psychopaths opens up in theaters on October 12, 2012.
Marty (Colin Farrell) is a struggling writer who dreams of finishing his screenplay ‘Seven Psychopaths’. All he needs is a little focus and inspiration. Billy (Sam Rockwell) is Marty’s best friend, an unemployed actor and part time dog thief, who wants to help Marty by any means necessary. Hans (Christopher Walken) is Billy’s partner in crime, a religious man with a violent past. Charlie (Woody Harrelson) 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.

Looks great. Mcdonagh’s assembled a great cast…looking forward to seeing it.
I definitely want to see this. It looks hilarious.
Did this movie get delayed or something? I remember seeing a trailer of it a while back. Looks cool though, I thought In Bruges was one of the best films of that year.
I don’t believe it was delayed. This is the first footage that I’ve seen.
I wad hoping for something a bit darker, but i’m still excited for this
Yeah. But then again, the trailer for In Bruges wasn’t all that dark either.
This is going to be so awesome. I’m in love with Rockwell and Walken already. I have always thought what Rockwell’s character says at the end about the blind people. Seriously.
Haha, it’s never crossed my mind.
Yeah, I’m way looking forward to this. Part of me wishes that McDonagh had managed to set it in Europe again, but I understand situating Seven Psychopaths in Hollywood based on the professions of Farrell and Rockwell’s characters. (Aside: between those details and the film set that comes up in In Bruges, it’s starting to seem like McDonagh has a bit of a meta fascination with the filmmaking process.)
Basically, one trailer is all I needed to get 100% invested in this. Can’t wait to see it.
Holy crap, this looks so damn good. I loved In Bruges, I love everyone who’s in this, and I love Shi Tzus. I can’t wait.
Haha, this does look pretty hilarious.
Hi, Red and company:
The more times I see this trailer. The more I’m reminded of ‘The Black Marble’ from 1980. Based on the novel by Joseph Wambaugh and dealing with dog kidnappings in Beverly Hills being traced by Robert Foxworth as a soon to retire LAPD detective.
Though this film looks much weirder in a good way.
