Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2008: #50 In Bruges

Date:

In Bruges Sundance 2008

#50. In Bruges

Director/Writer:
Martin McDonagh
Producers: Graham Broadbent (Millions), Peter Czernin (Piccadilly Jim)
Distributor: Focus Features

The Gist: Written by McDonagh, this tells the story of hit men Ray
and Ken, (Farrell and Gleeson, respectively) who, after a badly botched job in
London, are ordered by their boss, Harry (Fiennes), to cool their heels in the
bucolic city of Bruges, Belgium.

Fact: McDonagh won a best live-action short film Oscar for his directorial
debut, “Six Shooter.”

See It: Not only do I love this city but the trailer charmed the hell out of me. A guy’s flick with cursing, guns and tight spots.

Release Date/Status?: After opening Sundance this is coming to theaters on the 8th of February.
