The Slaughter Rule, starring Ryan Gosling, Clea Duvall, David Morse and Eddie Spears, ignites the Internet faithful. Jay Farrar Soundtrack and a Hot Indie Cast powers films longevity.

(PRWEB) February 2, 2004 --THE SLAUGHTER RULE (Cowboy Pictures), which was the toast of the film festival circuit last year, is relaunching its web site (TheSlaughterRule.com) in response to growing interest in what is becoming a hot cult film.

Like many independent films, THE SLAUGHTER RULE, written and directed by twin brothers, Alex and Andrew Smith from their Sundance Labs project, floundered in under-distributed purgatory. However, the film was luckily picked up by The Sundance Channel last fall and has since become a cult hit on video in the U.S. as well.

Still popular on the film festival circuit -- the movie is making its East European premiere at the FEBIO Fest in Prague this week -- THE SLAUGHTER RULE stars David Morse (CBSs Hack) and Ryan Gosling (The Believer) in a drama set in rural Montana about a high school student who develops an uneasy relationship with his football coach. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, the film has garnered rave reviews for what the New York Times described as a touching portrait of thwarted, volatile male passion."

TheSlaughterRule.com boasts more content for the fans, the press, and the independent film crowd, with multimedia clips as well as numerous behind-the-scenes bonuses, including two songs from the acclaimed soundtrack by alternative country legend, Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt). Alex and Andrew Smith are personally choosing material so that the web site will give the audience a unique perspective of this indie films journey.

The heightened interest in THE SLAUGHTER RULE comes just in time for two new films from its star, Ryan Gosling. The UNITED STATES OF LELAND and THE NOTEBOOK open this April. Clea Duvall can currently be seen in 21 GRAMS and Eddie Spears EDGE OF AMERICA was the closing feature of this years Sundance Film Festival.
