A French actress, Adèle Exarchopoulos, has joined the cast of The Brigands of Rattlecreek, a western revenge film directed by Park Chan-wook, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Oldboy. She will play the wife of the character portrayed by Austin Butler, though specific details about her role have not been fully disclosed. The film also features Pedro Pascal, who will face off against Matthew McConaughey and Tang Wei in what promises to be a high-stakes showdown.
Set in a small, isolated town, the story follows a sheriff and a doctor who team up to seek revenge after their community is terrorized by a gang of bandits during a violent storm. The film was originally written by S. Craig Zahler, known for his work on Bone Tomahawk, but was later rewritten by Park Chan-wook. The project, which has been in development for several years, was previously titled The Brigands of Rattleborge.
Zahler’s original screenplay once topped the Black List, a well-known annual ranking of highly regarded but often underproduced screenplays. This marks a significant step for Adèle Exarchopoulos, who is expanding her career beyond French cinema into international productions. The film is set to be distributed in the United States and Canada by Warner Bros., though no official release date has been announced.
