Wild Horse Nine

She'll be laid to rest on Monday.

Check out those stories live right now at theaustralian.com.au and come back to the front first thing in the morning for our look at the very sweary film Wild Horse 9.

That's right here, Saturday morning.

A couple of Hollywood's most respected and kind of quirky actors teaming up for a new adventure.

Still ahead, the dark comedy stirring up Oscar buzz for John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell.

A new movie hitting theaters tomorrow, already getting some Oscar buzz, Wild Horse 9.

It's kind of a dark comedy following two longtime CIA agents.

They're on a mission, but something sinister looms over their venture.

It features an all-star cast, including John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, and Parker Posey.

If you haven't yet listened to the November Trailer Talk episode, go ahead and lend your ears to that and make some plans for some of the blockbusters coming out.

And come back next week to hear my thoughts on a variety of films such as Godzilla Minus Zero, Wild Horse 9, and Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.

Until then, take care everyone and have a great weekend ahead.

And then after that we have, we're just going to say it now, so I'm sorry for spoiling this for you, but Amanda Seyfried for You Can See Everything.

Mariana DiGirolamo for Wild Horse Nine.

Olivia Coleman for Elsinore.

Sandra Hula for Project Hail Mary, Kato Flynn for Tender Loving Care, Merritt Weaver for Primetime, Esme Creed Miles, Samantha Morton's daughter, for Sense and Sensibility, Sandra Hula again for Fatherland, Anna Sophia Robb for I Play Rocky, and Parker Posey for Wild Horse Nine.

Okay, so from my perspective, I feel like this is really Anne Hathaway, Samantha Morton, Tao Okamoto, very much in the running here.

Then we have the Penelope Cruz question.

Even I don't think the Academy will go for her because she, but at the same time, I don't think that film needs her nomination to secure its place as like a top three because yeah, she, it's most of the time her just being herself and she has like two reenactment scenes, which again have more screen time than, as much screen time as, um, Samantha Morton or Penelope Cruz and LaBola Negra.

But like, I don't, I really don't think the acting branch would go for, especially given that she will be ineligible at literally all the precursors except predicts choice.

So, Simon, do you want to start with the movie that you've seen? Our first movie this morning is...

Wild Horse Nine.

That's right.

This is the new film from Irish director Martin McDonagh, who is an acclaimed playwright, has a lot of great and classic plays to his name, but has been working in film pretty steadily for the last two decades now, kicking off with In Bruges.

forgot Sam Rockwell was in that.

He's in Seven

Psychopaths as well, and he's in the new film, Wild Horse Nine.

But I think that there's a lot of commonalities in...

We may take a little bit longer on this one because this is a really, really interesting film to talk about.

It is called Wild Horse Nine.

You're always eating.

You never stop eating.

The film is also somewhat poignant, you know, has some, has some emotional things to say in addition to being a quite funny film.

Um, I've already given away the fact that I really love this one, but Josh, why don't you go ahead and, uh, you, you had to go third on Godzilla.

Why don't you go first on giving us your full review of wild horse nine?

Yeah.

So, anyway, we'll see.

But, yeah, I mean, it's... wild horse nine is one that I, I definitely want to see.

Um, I think it's rated R and I'm not exactly sure why.

So I'll probably do a little more research into that.

It's very talky.

Wild Horse Nine plays like a Quentin Tarantino film for octogenarians.

That's not a diss.

No, it's not a diss, but this is very much a film that my father would have loved.

We know what the point is.

We've seen these characters relate and that's where it's already been strong.

Wild Horse Nine in select theaters today and theaters everywhere tomorrow.

And I'll be interviewing Martin McDonough on Monday.
