It never hurts to have a cute dog, does it? The Artist had one, so did Beginners. Seven Psychopaths has one too, though you might think that seven (not one, not two….but seven) psychopaths would be entertaining enough in themselves. Seven Psychopaths is about a screenwriter with writer’s block. It’s one of those meta things where he’s working on the fim that we are watching. When his friends steal a mobster’s beloved pet, his problems quickly escalate.
Seven Psychopaths opens in Montreal on Oct. 12, 2102.

Is he giving this unidentified woman a better look at it or showing that he’s not concealing any weapons, cameras, etc? I don’t know. (Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
Sam Rockwell, left, and Jeremy Renner at the premiere of Seven Psychopaths. Renner isn’t in the film but he’s good buddies with Rockwell. He’s wearing that (unflattering, in my opinion) hat in all the photos from the premiere, and in some he’s wearing sunglasses, as well. My feeling on baseball caps: if you don’t make a living playing baseball and you’re more than 8 years old, forget it. Let your fans see you, why don’t you? (Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
OK, for the Renner fans out there, here is he, hatless, at a Berlin photocall for The Bourne Legacy, Sept. 3, 2012. (Photos by Andreas Rentz/Getty Images)
Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne goof around with the Bonny the dog at the premiere of Seven Psychopaths. At first I thought that he was pretending that the dog was biting him – then I realized that Ozzy was pretending to throttle the poor thing. Don’t even joke abut it.
