The label - which specialises in independent film - also announced that it acquired US rights to nine new titles to be released across multiple platforms, including Peter Mullan's NEDS.

Tribeca Film plans to release the following theatrically, on video-on-demand and via other platforms throughout the coming year:

Beware The Gonzo (Director/writer: Brian Gobuloff; Stars: Zoe Kravitz, Ezra Miller, Jesse McCartney, Amy Sedaris, Campbell Scott, and James Urbaniak) - A teen-angst comedy about an underground newspaper aiming to give voice to high school misfits.

The Bleeding House (Director/writer: Philip Gelatt; Stars: Patrick Breen, Alexandra Chando, Charlie Hewson) Horror thriller about a family with a haunted past, who are visited by a sweet-talking Texan killer who has come for retribution.

Brother’s Justice (Directors: Dax Shepard; Writer: Dax Shepard David Palmer; Stars: Dax Shepard, Tom Arnold, Bradley Cooper, David Koechner, Michael Rosenbaum and Nate Tuck) Hollywood satire follows Shepard as he makes the rash decision to abandon comedy in pursuit of his true dream: to become an internationally-renowned martial arts star.
