\n\tRoadside Attractions<\/a> and Vertical have acquired the U.S. rights to Tow, the true-life drama starring Rose Byrne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSteff Laing, who directed Byrne in the Apple TV+ series Physical and also helmed shows Palm Royale and Your Friends and Neighbors, co-wrote and directed Tow, which had its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on a true story, Tow follows Amanda Ogle (Byrne), a woman living in her aging Toyota Camry on the streets of Seattle. When her car, her only lifeline, is stolen and impounded, Ogle is thrust into a relentless legal battle against an indifferent system. What begins as a fight to reclaim her car evolves into a deeply human story of resilience, dignity, and the power of one woman\u2019s voice in the face of systemic failure.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe stacked ensemble includes Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer (The Help), Grammy-nominated artist Demi Lovato, Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Independent Spirit Award winner Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), Independent Spirit Award winner Simon Rex (Red Rocket) and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film will open theatrically in 2026 and currently holds a 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. In its review<\/a> from Tribeca, The Hollywood Reporter wrote \u201cTow\u00a0sends a powerful message about how many of us have more in common with a person sleeping in a car than we do the billionaires we\u2019ve been conditioned to admire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTow has found the perfect home with Roadside Attractions and Vertical,\u201d enthused Laing in a statement. \u201cFrom the very first meeting, I could feel their genuine passion and commitment to the film. Their dedication to releasing Tow in theaters where audiences can celebrate the true story of Amanda Ogle with this incredible cast, led by Rose Byrne, is what this film deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film was produced by\u00a0Votiv\u2019s Brent Stiefel and Justin Lothrop, alongside Laing, Danyelle Foord, Samantha Nisenboim, Byrne, Josh Ricks, and\u00a0Brian O\u2019Shea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tRoadside Attractions co-presidents Howard Cohen and Eric d\u2019Arbeloff stated\u00a0jointly, \u201cRose Byrne\u2019s amazing body of work speaks for itself, but in our estimation, Amanda could be her most indelible character. \u201c<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSteff has created an unforgettable film,\u201d added Vertical partner Peter Jarowey. \u201cLed by the fantastic Rose Byrne, this incredible cast and crew have made something remarkable. We are thrilled to continue our long-standing relationship with Roadside to bring this film to audiences nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe deal continues the distribution relationship between Roadside Attractions and Vertical, which has included movies such as Emily the Criminal, starring Aubrey Plaza, Firebrand, starring Alicia Vikander, The Pod Generation, starring Emilia Clarke, and The Desperate Hour, starring Naomi Watts, among others. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tCAA Media Finance made the deal behalf of the filmmakers.
