New Clip From 'Seven Psychopaths' Describes Chaos

Posted byBy R Scott Belzer | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

There’s more than one reason to be excited for the upcoming crime comedy Seven Psychopaths. In fact, we’re sure there’s more than seven.

Just one happens to be the new clip released today showcasing Colin Farrell, Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell all hilariously debating over the amount of blood and puke on Marty, the leading role played by Farrell.

Seven Psychopaths is director Martin McDonagh‘s follow up to 2008’s sensational In Bruges, a European crime comedy that earned an Oscar nomination for Best Writing and Original Screenplay. McDonagh already had earned his Oscar in 2006 for Best Short Film with Six Shooter.

It’s somewhat difficult to see McDonagh’s writing shine through in the minute-long clip, but the potentially comic interactions between Walken, Rockwell and Farrell all hint at a feature’s worth of quips, deadpans, and off putting hilarity. In addition to the trio, the likes of Woody Harrelson and even Tom Waits also make appearances.

The film’s synopsis follows a struggling screenwriter in Los Angeles that unintentionally becomes involved with the criminal underworld after his unusual friends manage to kidnap a mob boss’s beloved Shih Tzu.  Subtle doesn’t really describe the dog tag it wears that cutely displays the inscription “Return to Charles Costello Or You Will Die.”

Seven Psychopaths has been releasing material left and right in an effort to publicize its release on October 12. In the meantime, check around the net for more clips and let us know what you think. Enjoy!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
