Not necessarily the best trailer in the world (it's decent), but check it out. It's for the upcoming In Bruges, written and directed by Martin McDonagh, and I'm not gonna get mushy, but this is something I am going to plug, because Martin McDonagh is a fucking genius.
You know when you're a kid, and you have that fantasy that some day you'll grow up and set all these records, be the youngest to do this and that, be the best at this, win awards, be acclaimed whatever you do? Well, if those fantasies had come true, you'd be Martin McDonagh.
The man was the first man to have 4 plays running in the West End in the same time since a man called William Shakespeare -- at the age of 27. Starting with his first play, he was nominated and won a slew of Obies, Oliviers Awards, Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, Evening Standard Awards, Writers Guild Awards, et al. He created a movement. His first short film won him an Academy Award. His first feature-film is opening the Sundance Film Festival.
And how did he pay for himself as he started out? Unemployment benefits, the fucker!
You don't have to check out the trailer. You don't have to like the trailer. But keep an eye out for the film when it comes out, and if it sounds like something you might like, give it a go -- the man's sure to at least give you something to talk about afterwards.
Cheers,
Ten Cents
