Samuel Goldwyn Films is preparing a Blu-ray release of Gérard Pirès' cult action comedy
Taxi (1998), starring Samy Naceri, Frédéric Diefenthal, Marion Cotillard, Manuela Gourary, and Emma Wiklund. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 16.
Description: In Marseille, France, an aspiring racecar driver named Daniel, is a Vespa pizza-delivery boy who just quit his job and became a taxi driver. With his supercharged Peugeot 406 he eludes the police while quickly transporting his fares to their destinations. Finally caught by the police for a huge speed infraction, he is forced to help Émilien, a down-on-his-luck police inspector, on the trail of professional German bank robbers driving supercharged Mercedes. Trying to juggle a budding relationship with his beautiful girlfriend Lili and a need for high-speed chases, Daniel helps Émilien so that he does not lose his license and quite possibly his job.
