Meet Four of the ‘SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS’ In These New Photos
Martin McDonagh is a Tony nominated playwright who has a penchant for writing about assassins and hoodlums with a quick wit and a knack for violence. His directorial debut, In Bruges, was a perfect transition to film from his brutal and violent plays, like the Northern Irish tale of a hitman and his cat, The Lieutenant of Inishmore. His upcoming feature, Seven Psychopaths is built around similar territory and brings together his star from In Bruges and Christopher Walken, who was nominated for a Tony for McDonagh’s play A Behanding in Spokane. A few of the other psychos in the film include Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell. All four of these leading men can be seen in the first official photos of the film seen below. I adore In Bruges and was lucky enough to see The Lieutenant of Inishmore on stage about four years ago. Seven Psychopaths ranks extremely high on my list of anticipated films of 2012.
In the new article from Entertainment Weekly, McDonagh talks about his second feature-length film. The article does give us a new and more detailed description of the plot as well.
A savage gangster (Woody Harrelson) goes on a rampage after his beloved shih tzu Bonny goes missing, snatched by an out-of-work actor (Sam Rockwell) who pays the bills by helping a professional dognapper (Christopher Walken) pick up pooches and return them for the reward money.
Farrell stars as a struggling screenwriter, working on a script titled Seven Psychopaths, who gets caught up in his pal Rockwell’s troubles… but also finds a lot of great material in the life-and-death conflict playing out over the kidnapped dog.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
