EXCLUSIVE: Archstone Entertainment is launching world sales in Cannes on the crime-thriller Murdering Michael Malloy starring Oscar nominee Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction) and BAFTA and Cannes Best Actor winner Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner).
From director Raymond De Felitta (City Island), the film is aiming to shoot third quarter 2026.
Based on a true story, Roth “will play struggling bar owner Tony Marino, who along with his partner, Bastogne, takes out a life-insurance policy on neighborhood drunk Michael Malloy (Spall). The pair then attempt to kill Malloy for the payout — only to discover Malloy is seemingly impossible to kill. As Marino’s increasingly desperate schemes continue to fail, the two men form an unexpected bond, building toward a haunting final act of sacrifice against the backdrop of Depression-era New York”.
