Taurus presents the life of a troubled musician as he seeks inspiration to record his next song. Colson Baker, who’s professionally known as Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), stars in the lead role as Cole. He’s joined by several big name stars including Megan Fox, Ruby Rose, and Maddie Hasson.
Tim Sutton serves as the writer, director, and executive producer of the project with a short but extensive history in Hollywood. Sutton made his directorial debut with Pavilion in 2012, before working on Memphis, Dark Night, and Donnybrook. This is Sutton’s second collaboration with Baker, after working together on The Last Son. Baker also serves as an executive producer on Taurus. The recently released trailer from RLJE Films can be found below.
The synopsis for Taurus reads: “A rising but troubled musician searches for the inspiration to record his next song, pushing himself deep into the void. A work of fiction that explores fame, addiction, the artistic process, and the music industry, Taurus is a soulful and universal cautionary tale.”
Taurus stars Scoot McNairy, Luis Da Silva Jr., Sara Silva, Siri Miller, and Avery Tiiu Essex alongside the main stars. The film is nearly ready for release, arriving in theaters, on demand, and digital Nov. 18. The latest poster for Taurus is featured below.
Colson Baker Wants to be Taken Seriously After Taurus
Colson Baker is no stranger to the big screen, starring in numerous feature films during his career. He’s known for his work in One Way, Captive State, Project Power, and The Dirt. Taurus will serve as another project with his fiancée Megan Fox, as they have previously worked together on Midnight in the Switchgrass alongside Bruce Willis.
The singer/actor addressed the crowd at the Balboa Bay Resort earlier this year after appearing at the Newport Beach Film Festival Honors hosted by Variety, and discussed the movie. During his speech said he wants to be taken seriously as an actor after Taurus, as the project was deeply personal for him.
“This is my 14th or 15th movie, but this movie is really close to me. It’s about the last week that a musician is alive, and he’s just trying to battle between the good and the — just trying to find the good in himself. And that’s kind of how I feel, a lot of the times…There are roles that I say that I want or dream scripts that, when they come across, I’m like, ‘Oh, I’d love that,’ and I get laughed at a lot of the times because the director doesn’t know who I am, or the studios don’t believe that I can handle it. But this is one step towards showing them that I can.”
Fans can see how Baker handles perhaps the biggest role of his career when Taurus heads into theaters and living rooms later next month, Nov. 18.
