Warner Bros.’ new specialty label Clockwork is in exclusive negotiations for a North American distribution deal for “The Brigands of Rattlecreek,” a Western project directed by Park Chan-wook. The film, which was widely viewed as one of the most talked-about packages at the Cannes market, is being negotiated following its presentation at Cannes and competition among buyers.
Both outlets report that Clockwork has advanced beyond other interested parties to take the project forward for a North American deal. Deadline characterizes the reported deal value as pegged in the mid-teens, while Variety describes the negotiations without specifying deal terms. The project is described as a long-gestating collaboration and a buzzy Cannes title.
The film’s planned cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Austin Butler, Pedro Pascal, and Tang Wei. While details beyond casting and the negotiation status are limited in the provided coverage, both sources agree the studio is currently in exclusive talks rather than announcing a fully finalized agreement.
