Six years since its announcement, No Other Choice director Park Chan-wook’s Western revenge thriller The Brigands Of Rattlecreek is currently revving up for the Cannes market this month. The project first landed at the Black List under a different title twenty years ago prior to news in 2019 of its development from a script by S. Craig Zahler of Bone Tomahawk and Brawl At Cell Block 99 fame.
Per Deadline’s Justin Kroll and Andreas Wiseman, Park’s new film is coralling a cast headed by Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar), Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), Pedro Pascal (HBO Max’s “The Last Of Us”) and Tang Wei (Decision To Leave). The plot follows “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.”
Bradley Fischer (Zodiac) is joining and Park to produce with Jisun Back, Mike Medavoy and Georgia Kacandes exec producers. Patrick Wachsberger’s 193 world sales label out of Legendary will handle the film on the sales end.
