Project Detail

Seven Psychopaths

Synopsis

An alcoholic screenwriter (Colin Farrell) struggling to write a serial-killer script gets more real-life inspiration than he can handle when a dognapping scheme gone awry brings a galaxy of crazies to his doorstep. A top-notch cult-movie cast - including Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Tom Waits and Harry Dean Stanton - anchors this wacky, blood-spattered commentary on the psycho-killer thriller from the writer-director of In Bruges.
