Watch the WILD HORSE NINE Official Trailer below…
Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ (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 (di Girolamo and Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.
With a screenplay by McDonagh, WILD HORSE NINE reunites the writer-director with Searchlight Pictures, Blueprint Pictures and Film4, following their collaboration on 9-time Academy Award®-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin.
Producers are Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, McDonagh, and Anita Overland.
