Marked Men: Rule + Shaw

Story:

Nick Cassavetes is the director and Sharon Soboil is the writer of the 2025 American romantic drama film Marked Men: Rule + Shaw, or just Marked Men. It is a Marked Men version of Rule, written by Jay Crownover in 2012. Chase Stokes plays a rebellious tattoo artist named Rule Archer in the movie, while Sydney Taylor plays Shaw Landon, a pre-med student from a wealthy household. Ella Balinska, Natalie Alyn Lind, and Alexander Ludwig are in the supporting cast. January 22, 2025, was the movie’s restricted theatre release date.

Ever since she first encountered Rule Archer, Shaw Landon has had feelings for him. Rule has never understood Shaw’s deeper feelings and has always treated her like a family friend despite their strong bond. Shaw’s life as an affluent pre-med student stands in stark contrast to Rule’s existence as a tattoo artist with a fierce temper. They are forced to face their own emotions and negotiate the difficulties of their disparate upbringings and familial expectations after an unexpectedly intimate night.
