New 'Wild Horse Nine' Trailer Features John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell on a Dangerous CIA Mission
Set before the 1973 Chilean coup, the film explores CIA agents' conspiracies and bonds on Easter Island, with Searchlight scheduling a Nov. 6, 2026 release.
- On Thursday, Searchlight Pictures released the trailer for Wild Horse Nine, a dark comedic drama written and directed by Oscar winner Martin McDonagh, arriving in theaters on November 6, 2026.
- Set shortly before the 1973 Chilean military coup that overthrew President Salvador Allende, the story follows CIA agents Chris and Lee dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ.
- The cast features John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell alongside Steve Buscemi, Parker Posey, and Tom Waits. Malkovich calls the script "terrifically well-written," while Rockwell says of Malkovich: "In this role, I think what John brings is danger."
- McDonagh describes the film as musing on "guilt and sins and looking back on a life," inspired during his first Easter Island visit 13 years ago by the Moai statues and wild horses that play a significant role in the script.
- Wild Horse Nine reunites McDonagh with Searchlight and Blueprint Pictures after his 2022 film The Banshees of Inisherin, positioning the remote Easter Island locale to generate tourism interest similar to prior McDonagh productions.
