File this one under “Guys I would kill to party with.”  So Martin McDonagh, writer/director of In Bruges, possibly the most unique action-comedy of the last ten years, is preparing his next film, Seven Psychopaths.  The Christ-like Rockwell (homeless Paul Rudd!).  No midgets have yet been cast, but if craft services provides the booze and pills, I’m sure one will just eventually show up.

Story follows a screenwriter (Farrell) struggling for inspiration for his script, “Seven Psychopaths,” who gets drawn into the dog kidnapping schemes of his oddball friends (Rockwell and Walken).  This take a turn for the worse when a gangster’s (Rourke) mutt goes missing. [Variety]

Hmm, well that sounds pretty good.  And by that I mean I wrote this after a noise like a whistling tea kettle escaped my diaphragm and I passed out in anticipatory ecstasy on a pile of cats.  Speaking of which, is it weird that I imagine Sam Rockwell constantly being awoken by stray animals?  He has a real a-goat-licked-my-forehead-this-morning vibe about him.
