For fans of In Bruges the re-teaming of writer-director Martin McDonagh and Colin Farrell in the crime comedy Seven Psychopaths will come as a treat.
Only here, the two Irishman have headed across the Atlantic for a black comedy of dog-napping and other nastiness. Alongside Farrell, McDonagh has cast a colourful bunch including Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, Tom Waits and Harry Dean Stanton.
Both Rockwell and Walken starred on Broadway in the first American-set production of playwright-turned-film-maker McDonagh's many stage works - the grisly black comedy A Behanding in Spokane.
The actors had a ball while making the film.
"It was a lot less chaotic shooting it than viewing it," admits Farrell, while promoting the film in Toronto. "The violence was completely juxtaposed with the fun. It was surprisingly peaceful."
