Timbaland and Swizz Beatz have settled their legal dispute with Triller, which means the TikTok rival has got rid of one of the three lawsuits filed against it in the last month.This particular dispute related to the 2021 acquisition by Triller of Verzuz, the livestreamed DJ battle series launched by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz at the start of the COVID lockdowns in spring 2020. The producers claimed that they were still owed money from that deal, $28 million in fact, and that the Triller company had failed to stick to a revised payment schedule agreed earlier this year.After Timbaland and Swizz Beatz sued Triller for their money, the digital firm insisted that the additional payments were conditional on certain obligations being met by the duo which had not yet been met.
The Triller company said in a statement: “We don’t believe they have met the thresholds for that payment yet, but [we] have been trying to resolve it amicably”.And, it seems, those attempts at reaching an amicable agreement have proven successful. Timbaland and Swizz Beatz have said in a new statement: “Verzuz has always been a platform that is by the artists, for the artists, and with the people.
We’re glad to come to an amicable agreement with Triller and continue giving fans the music and community that they’ve come to know and love from the brand”.Triller co-founder Bobby Sarnevesht added: “Verzuz and Triller will always be a safe place and outlet for creators and their art. Nothing will change that.
Creators started this and will continue building it. This is a victorious moment in the Triller and Verzuz relationship as we march together toward the public markets.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Jalmari Helander hasn’t made a feature since 2014’s “Big Game,” then the most expensive Finnish film to date. It was an unabashed, bombastic, good-humored action crowd-pleaser that indeed pleased crowds — at festivals, while mysteriously failing to catch on with general audiences. Presumably his concept was just too “high” for mainstream viewers to swallow: Though they don’t have any problem with Gerard Butler or Will Smith doing similar honors, it seemed too much to accept a 13-year-old Finn boy singlehandedly rescuing the president of the United States from an obstacle course of assassination peril. That failure must have hurt; Helander has spent the interim on episodic work. His new “Sisu” is, in many ways, cut from the same cloth as “Big Game” as a splashy popcorn action piece unconcerned with credibility, pushing well-worn ideas to outlandish, and outrageously entertaining, ends. But the writer-director has hedged his bets by moving one key piece in the game to the opposite end of the board. This time, instead of a juvenile protagonist that made viewers wonder whether they were watching a movie for kids or for grown-ups (the answer “both” apparently confused them), we get a crusty coot quite spry enough to take on all foes. Which bad guys might pretty much be termed “the entire Third Reich.”

Tomris Laffly A humdrum thriller that clumsily digs into themes of sexual and emotional trauma, Amy Redford’s sophomore feature “Roost” follows Anna (Grace Van Dien), an archetypal perceptive teenage girl on the cusp of maturity. Because she’s the observant kind who yearns for big ideas and possibilities outside of her small suburban world, it’s no surprise that it isn’t a square teenage boy from her school that romantically sweeps Anna off her feet, but a man of nearly 30 years of age she’s met online. He’s the creepily mysterious Eric (Kyle Gallner, chillingly effective), someone who ignites Anna’s all-consuming emotions, shares her love of Emily Dickinson and notices (at least on the surface) the complexities of this young girl who wants to cross over to adulthood fast. But when he shows up at Anna’s doorstep uninvited all too abruptly after traveling hundreds of miles, he rattles the disturbed Anna, who struggles with saying a firm no to Eric’s disarming demeanor.
