In Bruges director Martin McDonagh has set up his next movie. The film is called The Banshees of Inisheer, and will reteam McDonagh with actors Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.
Deadline reports the movie will be about two friends on a remote island. One of them cuts off their relationship, which ultimately ends badly for both parties.
The movie will reportedly film this summer with a budget of around $20 million. For comparison, McDonagh’s last film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, cost an estimated $15 million, according to a report from FilmL.A. Research.

Farrell, Gleeson, and McDonagh last worked together on In Bruges, which was released in 2008. That film was about two hitmen who are sent by their boss to a city in Belgium after a job goes wrong. McDonagh wrote and directed the movie, which was his first feature-length film. He worked again with Farrell on his next movie Seven Psychopaths. Neither of those films were too big at the box office with each one grossing around $35 million worldwide.
McDonagh’s third film was Three Billboards, which pulled in $160 million at the box office and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
