Martin McDonagh’s New Film Wild Horse Nine Gets First Trailer

Searchlight Pictures and Film4 have debuted the first trailer for Wild Horse Nine, the latest film from Oscar-winning director Martin McDonagh, which you can watch below!

McDonagh’s first film in four years since 2022’s The Banshees of Inisherin, the anticipation around the latest film from the award-winning filmmaker is always big – and his new film looks as good as anything he has done.

The film stars two-time Academy Award® nominee John Malkovich (Places in the Heart, In the Line of Fire), Academy Award® winner Sam Rockwell (‘Fosse/Verdon,’ Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Vice), Steve Buscemi (Fargo, Ghost World), Mariana Di Girólamo (Ema, Kill the Jockey), Ailín Salas (El Secreto, ‘Monzón’), with Tom Waits (Seven Psychopaths), and Parker Posey (The White Lotus)

With a screenplay by McDonagh, the film reunites the writer-director with Searchlight Pictures, Blueprint Pictures and Film4, following their collaboration on 9-time Academy Award®-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin, with Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, McDonagh, and Anita Overland producing.

McDonagh won acclaim for Banshees, with the film picking up two BAFTA awards for Best Original Screenplay and Outstanding British Film. For his previous film before that, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, he won three BAFTAs (Best Film, Outstanding British Film and Best Original Screenplay), with the film winning five BAFTAs in total, and two Academy Awards.

Synopsis | Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island’s iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris’s newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

Wild Horse Nine is set for UK cinemas on 6th November.
