Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine, premiered Thursday evening at the Venice Film Festival, where it earned a rapturous 14-minute, 44-second ovation from the audience in the festival’s Sala Grande.
The film stars John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi and Parker Posey.
Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (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 (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.
It will be released in cinemas on the 6th November 2026.
