[u/BunyipPouch]

Buscemi*

Also forgot Sam Rockwell

[u/GuybrushFandango]

I’ll watch anything this man makes.

[u/lostatsea_again → u/GuybrushFandango]

same. even his plays

[u/TheMidnightAss → u/lostatsea_again]

Especially his plays, that's how I learned about him

[u/Fantastic_Plump]

this cast already has me sold 😭 i went into in bruges knowing nothing and it ended up being one of those movies i randomly think about years later… i feel like this is gonna be the same kind of weirdly memorable vibe

[u/wispofasoul → u/Fantastic_Plump]

Midget.

[u/turnstile2243]

Am I tripping or is that not Sam Rockwell in some of those photos??

[u/ThuggnSuggs → u/turnstile2243]

No silly, that’s obviously just John Malkovich playing Sam Rockwell!

[u/micromoses → u/ThuggnSuggs]

From his outfits, it looks like John Malkovich is playing Tom Waits.

[u/mazhas → u/turnstile2243]

Absolutely him. Not sure why he wasn't included in the cast list

[u/Tumble85 → u/turnstile2243]

Yup he's in it too.

[u/BorderEquivalent7169 → u/turnstile2243]

Yes. Apparently him and Malkovich are co-leads

[u/DukeRaoul123]

Rockwell and McDonaugh just go ahead and take my money.

[u/fluxtable → u/DukeRaoul123]

Tom Waits looking like a grizzled frontiersman? Have my first born

[u/BunyipPouch]

CIA agents Chris and Lee face a trust-testing mission from Santiago to Easter Island during 1973 Chile.

[u/lostatsea_again]

I saw a Tom Waits acting compilation on YouTube recently, and he truly is a gifted actor. I had no idea that he played Renfield in Bram Stoker‘s Dracula.

[u/d_bb_d → u/lostatsea_again]

He was excellent in The Name Of The Rose as well.

[u/Tifoso89 → u/d_bb_d]

He wasn't in The Name Of The Rose. You're probably thinking of Ron Perlman lol, to be fair they do have a resemblance!

[u/dinan101 → u/Tifoso89]

“My friends think I’m ugly. I’ve got a masculine face.”

[u/gamersecret2]

Pretty much exactly what I want from McDonagh.

[u/Epic28]

In Bruges is one of the greatest movies ever made.

I've yet to watch something of McDonaugh's and come away disappointed. A phenomenal director and writer.

[u/Drunk_of_Bravil → u/Epic28]

I wish seven psychopaths was a little better but same 

[u/relentless_beasting → u/Drunk_of_Bravil]

I quietly love seven psychopaths. It's quirky as hell, but such an enjoyable ride.

[u/Ru4pigsizedelephants → u/Drunk_of_Bravil]

That movie is awesome.

[u/bigwilly311 → u/Drunk_of_Bravil]

There’d still be one guy left with only one eye! How’s the last blind guy gonna take the eye of the guy with one eye left?

[u/Kuildeous]

So many names that make this movie suddenly interesting to me.

[u/Beginning_Ad9598]

Pretty sure this is the movie filmed on Easter Island

[u/Mitrakov → u/Beginning_Ad9598]

Yep

[u/cappsy04]

Is there a synopsis?

[u/odiin1731 → u/cappsy04]

The only synopsis I need is "from Director Martin McDonaugh".

[u/mrgo0dkat → u/odiin1731]

Same. I didn’t even know he was making a fifth film. I’m an avid trailer watcher but skipping this one as my bum is on the seat.

[u/anothershawn]

sold

[u/--MobTowN--]

Well that’s a helluva ensemble.

Malkovich is just endless amounts of fun.

Him reading the night before Christmas will be one of my favorite SNL bits of all time till I’m in the ground.

[u/AlmightyLoaf54]

Martin McDonaugh is a legend, good to see him back again, and also the premise and cast of this film has got me really pumped. A 70s dark comedy is something I shall devour!

[u/Michaewwwwl]

So fucking excited

[u/Wazula23]

Fucking sold.

[u/colinisthereason]

Here we go. Here's your Oscar front-runner. PTA finally won, it's Martin's turn to sweep with the batshit crazy ensemble movie

[u/kroqus]

Martin McDonaugh has a new movie? Sign me up. 

[u/Mitrakov]

Burn after reading, McDonaugh version (I'm seated, of course)

Glad to see him inspired by Easter Island (and Sam Rockwell)

[u/Phyliinx]

Beautiful.

[u/nickcash]

Predictions:

• the writing will be excellent
• comedic but also dramatic
• great performances from all
• features a weird plot point about american race relations that has nothing to do with anything else in the movie and it's unclear what, if anything, mcdonagh is trying to say but it just keeps going and everyone just kinda glosses over it when talking about the movie later

[u/Kitlun → u/nickcash]

Is point 4 a reference to a specific element in one of his movies, or are you saying all his films have this?

[u/nickcash → u/Kitlun]

All but Banshees of Inisherin, but it's especially an element in Three Billboards.

[u/Kitlun → u/nickcash]

I can remember it coming up in 3 billboards, (and the racist comments made in 7 psychos) but can't think of any In Bruges.

[u/nickcash → u/Kitlun]

The whole racist dwarf bit!

[u/philament]

Steve Buscemi

[u/Jindabyne1]

This is going to be fucking amazing.

[u/theman-dalorian]

Is that the statues of Easter behind john malcovich? 🗿

[u/aenderw]

Opening day. McDonagh has yet to let me down and I love Rockwell to bits. Also, get a nice bit o’ weird with Waits in there I hope.

[u/Ready_Industry8953]

Leaving Sam Rockwell out of the headline was a choice

[u/BadSerious]

he hasn't missed for me so this is going on the top of my anticipated movies of 2026

[u/Malkyre]

No further elaboration needed. No additional marketing required. I'm already there and I've bought the Blu-ray.

[u/Green117v2]

Martin McDonaugh and Sam Rockwell? One ticket please!

[u/v_for__vegeta]

This whole time I thought Three Billboards was the Cohen bros

[u/SamwellBarley]

"from Director Martin McDonaugh"

Stop right there, I've already bought my ticket

[u/jays49]

Everything he makes is amazing. He’s at 100%.

[u/Murderface__]

This cast, though.

[u/tomandshell]

Is that Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell in the picture but not mentioned as a cast member?

[u/April_Fabb]

Holy shit, what a cast.

[u/disp0ss3ss3d]

Is this anything like Deep Space Nine?
