Los Angeles, South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook is heading to the French Riviera with a major Western project titled 'The Brigands of Rattlecreek', featuring Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey, Oscar nominee Austin Butler, and Pedro Pascal.
The film, written by S Craig Zahler, follows a sheriff and a doctor who seek revenge against a group of bandits who exploit a torrential thunderstorm to rob and terrorise a small town.
The project will explore themes central to Park's body of work, including vengeance, retribution, the consequences of violence, and the power of memory and family, transplanted to the American West.
Park has been keen to make the Black List script for over a decade, with the project having first surfaced more than 20 years ago.
