Martin McDonagh (Seven Psychopaths, In Bruges) hasn’t made a film in five years but he’s back in fine form with the trailer for his new film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

The red-band trailer is packed full of the deeply dark comedy we’ve come to expect from McDonagh (with a not so subtle social commentary nod to Ferguson) and he’s assembled a pitch-perfect cast for it, led by Oscar winner Frances McDormand, delivering possibly the funniest, raunchiest lines of her career. The last one in this trailer is a gut-busting scream.

From Fox Searchlight:

[box type=”shadow” align=”aligncenter” class=”” width=””]THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI is a darkly comic drama from Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh (IN BRUGES). After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is only exacerbated.[/box]

The film also stars Peter Dinklage, Lucas Hedges, Abbie Cornish, and Caleb Landry Jones.

Here is the red-band trailer and poster below.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
