Park's Western Revenge Epic Set for Filming
19 May
Summary
- A sheriff and doctor seek vengeance against bandits.
- Filming is scheduled for early next year.
- The project has a budget pegged over $60M.
Korean auteur Park is set to direct a new Western film, with filming slated for the first quarter of next year. The movie centers on a sheriff and a doctor seeking retribution against a group of bandits. This project marks a significant theatrical play for the new WB specialty label, which is oriented toward appealing auteur filmmakers.
Park has pursued this Black List script for over a decade. Originally conceived more than 20 years ago, the project previously had Warner Bros and Amazon attached at different times. The film's impressive scope and A-list talent have generated considerable goodwill, especially following S. Craig Zahler's acclaimed "Bone Tomahawk".
The estimated budget for this film is pegged at over $60M. Park's recent acclaimed crime-comedy "No Other Choice" garnered three Golden Globe nominations and over $40M worldwide. His previous English-language work includes "The Sympathizer" and "The Little Drummer Girl."
