Although it was reported last year the Oldboy director’s planned project The Brigands of Rattlecreek, scripted by S. Craig Zahler, was revived by Amazon Studios and he was also planning a remake of the Costa-Gavras movie The Ax, neither will be his next film. Rather, he’ll be directing a melodrama starring Park Hae-il (Memories of Murder, The Host) and Tang Wei (Lust, Caution, Long Day’s Journey into Night, Blackhat), Naver reports.
With a title translated from Korean as The Decision to Break Up, it’s said to be different from traditional melodramas and draw from Park Chan-wook’s darker sensibilities, which we wouldn’t have any other way. Production is aiming to begin this fall, so if all goes as planned, we could see it on next year’s film festival circuit.

I still need to see Oldboy. Loved the hell out of The Handmaiden.

Let Zahler direct The Brigands of Rattlecreek then. Sounds like Dragged Across Concrete in the west, which would be amazing. The western elements of Bone Tomahawk were excellent, but could've used a bigger budget, which he'd likely get now.

I didn't find the budget effected Bone Tomahawk in a negative way, but I'm with you. Kid has earned his stripes, he can direct his own stuff. I wonder what a Chan-Woo version of a Zahler script would look like - probably more stylized, although no one depicts violence like Zahler.
