14 Original Upcoming Movies That Might Save Hollywood

7. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri Trailer
Fox Searchlight

Release Date: October 13

What It's About: After her daughter is murdered and the killer remains at large several months later, Mildred Hayes (Frances McDormand) takes matters into her own hands by launching a billboard campaign to goad the police into finally solving the case once and for all.

Why It Might Save Hollywood: Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths) is one of the most unique voices working in Hollywood today, and from the single red-band trailer released so far, his latest looks to be another gloriously insane, hilarious, witty and ultra-violent effort.

If that's not enough, McDormand is joined by the top-drawer likes of Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, John Hawkes, Peter Dinklage, Abbie Cornish, Caleb Landry Jones and Lucas Hedges.

Arriving just as the annual awards season boom begins, Three Billboards should be a totally unpretentious yet exceedingly clever, twisted time at the movies.
