Chan-wook Park Travels To "Rattleborge"

South Korean filmmaker and "Oldboy" director Chan-wook Park is in talks to direct the thriller "The Brigands of Rattleborge" says Variety.

The story 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.

S. Craig Zahler's script made the 2006 Black List of best unproduced screenplays but the violent content is extreme enough that the project has been languishing for several years.

Bradley Fischer, Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland will produce the film.
