Warner Bros.’ new label is close to a mid-teens North American buy for the long-gestating Western, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Austin Butler.
- Warner Bros.' specialty label Clockwork is in exclusive negotiations for a North American deal to acquire the revenge Western The Brigands of Rattlecreek, directed by Cannes jury president Park Chan-Wook.
- The long-gestating project, which first came to light more than 20 years ago, features an ensemble cast including Matthew McConaughey, Austin Butler, Pedro Pascal, and Tang Wei.
- Budgeted north of $60M, the film follows a sheriff and doctor hunting bandits who terrorize a town during a torrential thunderstorm; Bradley Fischer and Park produce for Moho Film.
- This acquisition marks a major statement of intent for the new division, led by former Neon executive Christian Parkes, which recently acquired Sean Baker's next film, Ti Amo!
- Filming is slated for early next year, positioning the specialty label as a key player at the Cannes Film Market as it establishes its identity with auteur-driven projects.
