I can’t wait to see this film! The title is a bit unwieldy but I’m intrigued by the combination of Frances McDormand and director Martin McDonagh.
Here’s the trailer. It’s red band so you know it has to be good…

There Are Three Things You Should Know Before Watching The Trailer for War On Everyone
Okay, before you watch the trailer for War On Everyone, there are three things you should know!
Number one, this is a red band trailer. That means that, if you watch it at work or in a public place, you will be immediately arrested and deported to Vermont. That is not something you want to risk because, as we all know, Vermont is an evil, evil place.
Secondly, this is the latest film from the brilliant Irish director, John Michael McDonagh. McDonagh directed two of the best films in recent cinematic history, The Guard and Calvary! (He’s also the brother of Martin McDonagh, who directed both In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths.) From what I’ve heard, War on Everyone is another McDonagh triumph!
Third, Michael Pena and Alexander Skarsgard play corrupt cops! After what happened to his honest cop in End of Watch, can you blame Pena for going bad?
Anyway, here is the red band trailer! It’s full of cursing and all sorts of fun stuff.
And here are The Independent Spirit Nominations
The Gotham Awards aren’t the only awards regularly given to films that the majority of filmgoers will never get to see. The Independent Spirit Nominations are also dedicated to recognizing the best of independent film and they tend to get a bit more attention than the Gothams. With the early Oscar talk being dominated by mainstream studio films like Argo, Lincoln and Les Miserables, indie films like Bernie and Moonrise Kingdom are going to need all of the help that they can get.
