John Doe is about as excited as when Ray spotted a midget on set In Bruges. According to deadline.com Writer/Director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) and Colin Farrell are reteaming for Seven Psychopaths. In case you have a Farrell prejudice or that news isn’t enough to get your attention, Mickey Rourke (Angel Heart), Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken (King of New York) are also cast.

Last year JD reviewed In Bruges describing it as, “a violent opera of whimsical joy”. A movie that saw Farrell “finally living up to the charismatic potential displayed in Tigerland.” Considering the eccentric premise and McDonagh’s strengths as a writer/Director, the idea of this pair working together again carries much promise.

The synopsis, again according to deadline.com goes like this: “Farrell plays a screenwriter who struggles to find the handle on his script, called Seven Psychopaths. He gets drawn into the dognapping escapades of his friends (played by Rockwell and Walken). Once the beloved Shih Tzu owned by a psychopathic gangster goes missing, the screenwriter finds himself fueled with all the drama he needs for his screenplay, if he can stay alive long enough to write it all down. “

Combined with the high caliber costars that have joined the production this has instantly become one of JDM’s most anticipated films of 2012…and we weren't even born in Dublin.

” I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.” – Ray from In Bruges

Deaths seem to come in three’s, but in Hollywood two bullets in the chamber trigger’s the Russian roulette process for dueling projects. Infamous vs Capote, Tombstone vs Wyatt Earp, Deep Impact vs Armageddon, there is an extensive list of studio pictures that were inspired by the same source, subject or event and raced for the earliest release date.
