'Oldboy' Helmer Park Chan-Wook To Direct Western 'The Brigands Of Rattleborge'

So, the guy who directed "Oldboy" and "Thirst" tackling a western? Um, yes please. Just tell us when it's ready and we're there. Variety reports that Park Chan-wook is in talks to direct "The Brigands Of Rattleborge," and it sounds promising as hell. Penned by S. Craig Zahler ("The Incident"), the script made the 2006 Black List but has apparently stalled in development due to the kind of graphic violence that requires a big star to sign on to get financing to come together. Well, Red Granite Pictures ("Friends With Kids," "The Wolf Of Wall Street") is helping out in that department and are teaming up with Mythology Entertainment to make it happen. So what is it all about?
The premise is awesomely simple, centering on a group of bandits who use a torrential thunderstorm as cover to rob a small town, and the sheriff and doctor who seek out revenge against them. (Note to poential cast: you will get wet.)

This is going to be brilliant. Script's fantastic. He's exactly the kind of director that could bring the script justice. :up:
 
A western with eastern sensibilities?
 
Yeah, an entire robbery during a thunderstorm. That sounds pretty Asian.

Well there was that robbery action movie Hard Rain from 1998 starring Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater :cwink:

I loved the Vegeance trilogy and Thirst so I'll probably check this out
