Searchlight releases new trailer for Martin McDonagh’s ‘Wild Horse Nine’

Searchlight Pictures has released a new trailer for Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine, starring John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell.

The film follows longtime CIA partners sent to Easter Island shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup. Written and directed by McDonagh, it follows the pair as a seemingly straightforward trip to see the island’s famous Moai statues becomes tangled with political conspiracies, their own history and a pair of rebellious students.

Malkovich plays Chris, with Rockwell as Lee, who are dispatched from Santiago by their bureau chief MJ, played by Steve Buscemi. Chris has developed a bond with two young rebels, played by Mariana Di Girolamo and Ailín Salas, while the relationship between the two agents becomes increasingly strained as Chris begins revealing secrets from his CIA past.

The film’s historical setting places their journey alongside the events leading to the military coup that brought Augusto Pinochet to power in Chile.
