The Banshees of Inisherin is the In Bruges reunion we need…and to be honest, really deserve…in 2022. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson square off again on screen in what appears, based on the trailer, to be another must-see feature from writer/director Martin McDonagh.
Speaking as an In Bruges fan, the only way I could possibly be more excited about The Banshees of Inisherin reuniting the In Bruges threesome would be if this were an actual sequel to that critically acclaimed 2008 Oscar-nominated film.
Barry Keoghan (The Killing of a Sacred Deer) and Kerry Condon (McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) also star. McDonagh, Graham Broadbent, and Peter Czernin are the producers.
Searchlight Pictures is targeting an October 21, 2022 theatrical release.
The Plot: “Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, The Banshees of Inisherin follows lifelong friends Pádraic (Farrell) and Colm (Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán (Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Keoghan), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Pádraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.
