Marked Men: Rule + Shaw (2025)

Directed by Nick Cassavetes, who previously helmed The Notebook, Marked Men: Rule + Shaw (2025) is a romantic drama based on Jay Crownover’s popular novel Rule. The plot follows Shaw Landon (Sydney Taylor), a disciplined pre-med student who has harbored a secret love for Rule Archer (Chase Stokes) for years. Rule is a rebellious, tattooed "bad boy" and the twin brother of Shaw's late friend, Remy. Despite their polar-opposite lifestyles—Rule’s life revolves around his tattoo shop and casual flings, while Shaw lives by strict expectations—a night of birthday cocktails and raw honesty leads to a passionate encounter. The story explores their attempt to build a relationship while navigating deep-seated grief, Rule's fear of commitment, and Shaw's overbearing family, ultimately testing if two people from vastly different worlds can truly stay together. The film features a notable young ensemble cast led by Chase Stokes and Sydney Taylor, with supporting performances from Alexander Ludwig as Rome Archer, Ella Balinska as Ayden Cross, Evan Mock as Jet Teller, and Natalie Alyn Lind as Kirby. Financially, the film had a limited theatrical run starting January 22, 2025, primarily through Fathom Events in the U.S. and select international markets. It earned a modest worldwide box office total of approximately $1 million, with the bulk of its revenue coming from limited releases in Europe (particularly the Netherlands and Poland) and Russia.Following its theatrical window, the movie moved to streaming and digital platforms on February 27, 2025, becoming available for rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and other VOD services worldwide.
