Park Chan-Wook‘s (Oldboy, Stoker) The Brigands of Rattlecreek has been acquired by Warner Bros.’ new specialty label Clockwork.

Matthew McConaughey (The Lost Bus), Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”), and Tang Wei (Decision to Leave) star in the Western revenge thriller. 

S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk) wrote the screenplay, with revisions by Park.

The film 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.”

Deadline notes, “The story will alight on themes central to Park’s oeuvre of vengeance, retribution, the consequences of violence and the power of memory and family, but this time in the American West.”

Park produces for Moho Film alongside Bradley Fischer (Shutter Island, Zodiac) of Wise Owl. Executive producers include Jisun Back, Mike Medavoy, and Georgia Kacandes.
