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

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

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...
