Martin McDonagh movie to close BFI London Film Festival
Stars Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell are expected to attend.
Martin McDonagh’s new movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri will close the BFI London Film Festival.
The British writer and director of In Bruges is expected to attend the premiere on October 15, alongside stars Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell.
Rockwell plays the police chief’s second-in-command, with a penchant for violence.
McDonagh said: “I’m excited to bring this film back to my home town for its UK premiere.
“I’m more than proud of it and if there are any fans of In Bruges still out there, I don’t think they’ll be disappointed.”
“By turns riotously funny and deeply sobering, this all-too-relevant film confronts division and conflict in small-town America and is driven by a blistering performance from Frances McDormand.”
The film will be released in the UK on January 12, 2018.
The BFI London Film Festival will open on October 4 with the European premiere of Andy Serkis’s directorial debut Breathe, starring Claire Foy and Andrew Garfield.
The full programme will be announced on August 31.
