Tribeca 2022: RLJE FILMS NABS RIVULET MEDIA’S “TAURUS” AHEAD OF ITS NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE AT TRIBECA

RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, has acquired the North American rights to the dramatic film, TAURUS, ahead of its North American premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. The film, written and directed by Tim Sutton (Donnybrook; Dark Night), stars Colson Baker (The Dirt, Good Mourning) and will be released in theaters later this year.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to share both the acting and musical talent of Colson Baker with his legion of fans with TAURUS,” says RLJE Chief Acquisitions Officer Mark Ward. “This film is a labor of love for Tim and Colson and their passion for this project truly shows on screen.”

Along with Baker, TAURUS stars Maddie Hasson (Malignant, We Summon The Darkness), Scoot McNairy (Argo, “Halt and Catch Fire”), Megan Fox (Transformers, Jennifer’s Body) Demetrius ‘Lil Meech’ Flenory Jr. (“BMF”), Naomi Wild, Ruby Rose (SAS: Red Notice, “Batwoman”) and Lil Tjay. TAURUS was produced by Jib Polhemus alongside Rob Paris and Mike Witherill under their Rivulet Media banner and executive produced by Sutton, Baker and Gul Karakiz.

TAURUS tells the story of a rising but troubled musician (Colson Baker) as he spends his days and nights searching endlessly for the inspiration to record his next song. His assistant (Maddie Hasson) wants to save him, his collaborators (Scoot McNairy, Lil Meech and Lil TJay) want him in the studio, while his dealer (Ruby Rose) and his ex (Megan Fox) push him deeper into the void.

TAURUS made its world premiere at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival. The film’s soundtrack features new music from Machine Gun Kelly, Naomi Wild, Travis Barker, and more.

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic films ever made. It operates like a riddle that refuses to be solved, luring the viewer into a world where time, memory, and identity dissolve into one another. What begins as a mysterious, almost whimsical Hollywood fairy tale gradually transforms into a psychological nightmare. By the end, it’s clear that what we’ve been watching is not a mystery to be unraveled but an emotional landscape, the mind of a woman caught between fantasy and despair. The film tells the story of two women, Betty Elms and Rita, whose lives intertwine after Rita survives a car crash and loses her memory. Betty, a bright and optimistic aspiring actress freshly arrived in Los Angeles, takes her in. Together, they embark on an investigation into Rita’s identity, which unfolds like a noir detective story bathed in dreamlike light. Everything about this world feels heightened: Betty’s charm, the coincidence of events, and the ease with w...

Explaining the Ending of No Country for Old Men

To understand the film’s ending, one must look beyond plot and consider its themes: fate, violence, moral decay, and the erosion of order in the modern world. The Narrative Setup The story begins with Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a Vietnam veteran who discovers a drug deal gone wrong in the Texas desert and makes off with $2 million in cash. Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a remorseless hitman, is sent to retrieve the money. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a weary and introspective lawman, tries to make sense of the violence unfolding around him. At first glance, the film appears to set up a c...
