And in addition to Galafinakis and a bunch of the other wild Hollywooders of the sort like Seth Rogen, James Franco, Margot Robbie, Michael Cera, esteemed character actress Margo Martindale, and Macaulay Culkin... get the Ballad of Buster Scruggs people in on it. Any of them that are interested.

The script barely matters - it'd live or die by choreography. Honestly you could buy several unrelated scripts in the same genre and extract the character stuff as setup. Their salient details become comedic excuses for the ebb and flow of combat. Like a good version of that MST3K quote: "It's movie-loaf. It's made from real movie."

Or better yet, with that kind of casting, ask each of them to contribute. They've all got stuff they're trying to get made. They've all got some leftover material that's not quite a full story. They won't necessarily get to play the parts they wrote, but they'll get co-writer credit, and it'll be onscreen, and they don't have to flesh out that scene idea that made them giggle themselves stupid at two in the morning.
