Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage joins In Bruges director's new film
He joins Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and more
In Bruges was a brilliant little film that stands up on repeat watches. Seven Psychopaths didn’t work quite as well, but was still incredibly innovative and creative.
Both movies came from Martin McDonagh, and his next project will be the curiously titled Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
It had already assembled an impressive cast of Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson, and now Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage has signed up.
This isn’t the first time McDonagh has worked with a dwarf actor, Jordan Prentice a drug-addicted American one in In Bruges.
Also written by McDonagh, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri centres on a mother (McDormand) whose daughter has been murdered. Frustrated by the inaction of the police, who are too busy persecuting black people, in finding her killer, she takes out three billboards protesting them.
According to SlashFilm, Harrelson will play a sheriff, Abbie Cornish his wife and Sam Rockwell his hotheaded protégé. Lucas Hedges (Moonrise Kingdom) will play the mother’s son, John Hawkes her ex-husband, and Dinklage will be playing a local man with a crush on her.
Principal photography will begin this spring, so we can expect a release date sometime in 2017.
