The Remote Location that Became a Character in Wild Horse Nine The latest Oscar buzz surrounds Martin McDonagh's Wild Horse Nine, with critics praising not just John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell's performances but also the film's remarkable location shoot on Easter Island.
This remote outpost, 2,500 miles off the coast of Chile, has been a coveted spot for filmmakers since Kevin Reynolds' Rapa Nui in 1997.
McDonagh's decision to shoot on location was driven by his desire to incorporate the island's complex history into the film.
