Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell reunite on screen in the first trailer for The Banshees Of Inisherin, the new film from In Bruges director Martin McDonagh.

Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, it follows lifelong friends Padraic (Farrell) and Colm (Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship.

A stunned Padraic, aided by his sister Siobhan (Better Call Saul actress Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer.

But Padraic's repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend's resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.

The Banshees Of Inisherin, which was filmed on the islands of Inishmore and Achill, opens in Irish cinemas October 21.
