HFPA VISIT SEVEN PSYCHOS


  Some of us get to lie in bed and work – particularly if you are Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell, who talked with HFPA members on location for his latest movie, Seven Psychopaths, which reteams the actor with his In Bruges director/writer, Martin McDonagh. In the movie, a visual love story to the City of Angels that includes locations in downtown, the desert and the Hollywood Sign, Farrell portrays a struggling screenwriter who inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles underworld after his friends (Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken) kidnap a gangster’s (Woody Harrelson) Shih Tzu. The HFPA visited the set in a rented Silverlake home where the Irish actor lolled in bed, delivering variations on a scene with Abbie Cornish, who portrays his girlfriend, and Rockwell.  Afterwards the actors chatted with members about the black humor, humanity and danger that attracted them to the script.—-Margaret Gardener.
