Trouble in Paradise: The First Look at John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell in ‘Wild Horse Nine’

Published by Sam Flores

McDonagh wrote the part of Lee for Rockwell. The pair have a long creative partnership, working together on the 2010 Broadway play A Behanding in Spokane, Seven Psychopaths (2012), and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017). “Everything he does feels like it’s almost improvisational and just real,” says McDonagh. “There are very few actors who can give John Malkovich a run for his money, and needed a scene partner who was his equal.” Rockwell’s Lee is junior to Malkovich’s Chris, and he has forged a friendship with his eccentric mentor. “In this role, I think what John brings is danger,” says Rockwell. “There is something that is a bit unhinged, like he could hurt somebody with his bare hands, but break your heart at the same time. I think there is a kind of dramatic potency that he has.” McDonagh put together a dream line-up for his supporting cast that includes Parker Posey, Steve Buscemi, Mariana di Girolamo, and Ailín Salas.

Published by Daniella Wilson

Gore Verbinski has only returned to the big screen after a decade away from directing huge blockbusters like The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and Lone Ranger. Now with his first-ever indie pic, the sci-fi comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, artificial Intelligence has the world’s future on the line when Sam Rockwell, playing The Man From the Future, walks into a Norms diner in Los Angeles one night to ask customers to join him on a journey to save the world from an AI apocalypse.   The diners, much like the audience during the opening scene for director Verbinski’s ambitious satire on this existential threat to humanity, have no idea how this madman raging against the AI machine in an LA eatery would save the world. “When you look at this man (Rockwell) coming into Norms, claiming to be from the future, looking like he might have crawled out of a dumpster — that could happen at Norms tomorrow. And yet by the end of that monologue, he’s convincing the patrons to come …

Brooklyn spoke out against his family (Variety via Getty Images) In Hollywood, where fame and fortune can amplify every challenge, love often comes with its own set of ground rules. While most famous couples try to keep their relationships out of the spotlight, every so often they share the non-negotiables that keep their partnerships strong.
