John Malkovich says he turned down Martin McDonagh’s offers to star in “A Behanding in Spokane” and “Seven Psychopaths” before finally accepting “Wild Horse Nine”:
“By this point, most people would take the hint. But Martin is a man who once wrote a character who cut off his own fingers just to prove a point. So thank God I didn’t have a scheduling conflict.”
Malkovich presented McDonagh with the Best Directing award at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards.

Crickets from the anti Skydance monopoly crowd.
Netflix seems primed to pounce on NBCUniversal as Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. reshapes Hollywood’s balance of power.
“The pressure across the industry to be more scaled has never been higher,” says one senior studio executive. “People are feeling more pressure to consolidate. But it’s gotta be the right fit.”
NBCUniversal could be a natural fit for Netflix, combining Peacock’s 48M subscribers with Netflix’s 325M+ and making brands like Bravo a distinct tile on the Netflix app.
