The film
has been quietly picked up by Amazon, which is apparently hoping to lure Matthew McConaughey in to star.
The premise of Rattlecreek sees Zahler—fresh off Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl In Cell Block 99—get back to his violently old-timey roots, with a small frontier town attempting to fend off a crew of murderous criminals using the cover of a thunderstorm to take them for all they’ve got. (If he signs on, McConaughey would play the heroic town doctor, who teams up with the sheriff to fight the villains off in what’s been suggested to be an absurdly gory fashion.) Zahler wrote the script way back in 2005—long before he garnered national attention with that other bloody Western that became his directorial debut—but despite being placed on the Black List, it never managed to get made.
