Warner Bros.' new specialty label Clockwork just made its first major acquisition out of Cannes, and it's a doozy. They've picked up Park Chan-wook's next film The Brigands of Rattlecreek, a western starring Matthew McConaughey, Austin Butler, and Pedro Pascal. That's four heavy hitters for the price of one. Park Chan-wook directed Oldboy, The Handmaiden, and Decision to Leave—the man knows how to make visually stunning, twisted, unforgettable cinema. Now put him in the western genre with McConaughey's drawl, Butler's intensity, and Pascal's everything? This has potential to be something special.
Clockwork is WB's answer to A24 and Neon—a home for singular filmmakers with theatrical releases. This acquisition signals they're serious. Park is exactly the kind of director this label was built for.
The film sold as a package out of Cannes and will get a theatrical release. No release date yet, but consider me seated. Are you excited for this one? And what's your dream Park Chan-wook project?
