The Western genre’s taking on a darker tinge for Warner Brothers. The studio has just shelled out to buy Craig Zahler’s script The Brigands Of Rattleborge.
The story follows three evil bandits who take advantage of a torrential downpour to rape, steal, murder and maim their way through the titular town’s richest inhabitants. But once the rain clears, the local sheriff and a revenge-seeking medic set out to turn the tables on them.
