Culmination, the fully integrated film production and sales company, today announced that they are producing and handling worldwide sales on the upcoming Jeff Buckley Biopic, Everybody Here Wants You, written by Dionne Jones.  Reeve Carney (Gucci, Penny Dreadful, Hadestown) will star as Jeff Buckley for BAFTA Award nominated producer Orian Williams (Control) in his directorial debut. Culmination Production’s Tom Butterfield (Die In A Gunfight) will produce alongside Mary Guibert, Jeff Buckley’s mother, and Alison Raykovich, manager of his estate and VP of Jeff Buckley Music, Inc.  Culmination’s Harry White will kick off worldwide sales at the upcoming European Film Market.

With the full support of the Buckley estate and access to all his music, Everybody Here Wants You is the story of Jeff Buckley, the legendary rock musician whose career was on the rise before his tragic death in 1997.  Production is scheduled to commence in Fall 2021, with BAFTA Award nominated cinematographer Roberto Schaefer (Finding Neverland, Quantum of Solace) also onboard.

Mary Guibert commented, “This will be the only official dramatization of Jeff's story which I can promise his fans will be true to him and to his legacy. Thankfully, my determination to assemble all the right participants, no matter how long it took, is about to culminate in the best way possible.”

Orian Williams added, "I’m honored to have the opportunity to step into the director’s seat to tell Jeff’s story.  He is one of the most remarkable musicians of our time and I’m grateful to Mary, Alison and Culmination for supporting and collaborating with me on this project.  Dionne Jones’s beautiful script brings together all the elements of Jeff’s life into one intimate and visual story.  I’m also looking forward to working with the immense musical and dramatic talent that is Reeve Carney."

“Jeff Buckley was a once-in-a-lifetime artist whose music touched people's hearts and changed their lives.  Sony Music has been honored to bring Jeff's music to the world and now, 'Everybody Here Wants You' is providing a unique opportunity to introduce Jeff to a whole new generation of fans,” said Richard Story, President, Commercial Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment.

Multi-hyphenate singer-songwriter-actor Reeve Carney made his mark on Broadway in roles including Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and Orpheus in Hadestown, for which the ensemble won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.  As frontman of the band, Reeve Carney and the Revolving Band, Carney’s albums include “Youth is Wasted” and “Live At Molly Malone's.”  He can be seen on the small screen starring in Showtime’s Golden Globe nominated “Penny Dreadful” and Fox’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again.  Carney can next be seen in Ridley Scott’s Gucci alongside Jared Leto, Al Pacino and Adam Driver.

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

By
MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a complex and surreal film directed by David Lynch, known for its non-linear narrative and dreamlike sequences. The ending is open to interpretation and has been the subject of much debate among viewers. Here's a breakdown of the ending: Diane's Dream vs. Reality: Throughout the film, there are two main narrative threads: one follows Betty/Diane's dreamlike experiences in Hollywood, and the other delves into Diane's harsh reality. The ending reveals that the majority of the film has been a dream constructed by Diane Selwyn, a failed actress, as a means to escape the guilt and pain of her actions. Betty/Diane's Descent into Madness: Betty, played by Naomi Watts, represents Diane's idealized self—a hopeful and innocent aspiring actress. However, as the film progresses, it becomes clear that Betty's story is unraveling, and her identity begins to merge with Diane's. This culminates in the revelation that Betty is merely a construct of Di...

4K Blu-ray Review: Drop (2025) — A Tense, Tech-Driven Thriller That Mostly Sticks the Landing

By
In Drop, director Christopher Landon (Freaky, Happy Death Day) crafts a nerve-wracking thriller centered on a devastating dilemma: would you take a life to save the ones you love? The story follows Violet, a widowed single mom attempting to re-enter the dating world after years of grief and recovery. Played with emotional precision by Meghann Fahy, Violet finds herself on a promising first date with the affable and seemingly genuine Henry (Brandon Sklenar) in an elegant, glass-walled Chicago restaurant. But their evening takes a sinister turn when Violet receives a disturbing message via a sleek, anonymous app called DigiDrop: if she doesn’t kill her date before the check arrives, her son and sister will die. What unfolds is a tightly wound 95-minute thriller that feels both classic and timely. The film builds its suspense through confinement, not action. Most of the story unfolds in real-time at their dinner table, creating a pressure-cooker environment that reflects Violet’s psycholo...
