Park Chan-Wook is assembling quite the posse for his latest project with the news that Matthew McConaughey (True Detective), Austin Butler (Dune: Part II), Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian & Grogu), and Tang Wei (Decision to Leave) have saddled up for Western The Brigands Of Rattlecreek.
Per Deadline’s report, Park will direct from a screenplay written by Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99‘s S. Craig Zahler.
The Brigands of Rattlecreek will focus on a sheriff and a doctor who seek revenge against a group of bandits who use the cover of a torrential thunderstorm to rob and terrorize the occupants of a small town.
Park has been circling the Black List project for over a decade, with the script belonging to Warner Bros and Amazon at different times. It will now move forward with Patrick Wachsberger’s Legendary label 193 for producer Bradley Fischer and Park, and carry a reported $60 million budget.
Park is coming off the back of his critically acclaimed dark comedy No Other Choice, which earned over $40 million at the worldwide box-office, and is now set for jury duty at the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival.
