Tim Roth and Timothy Spall are set to star in the upcoming film "Murdering Michael Malloy," directed by Raymond De Felitta. This dark comedy crime story, based on a true event, is slated for production in the third quarter of 2026.
The narrative centers on Tony Marino, a bar owner played by Roth, and his partner, Bastogne. They take out a life-insurance policy on Michael Malloy, portrayed by Spall, with the intent to collect the payout by killing him. However, their repeated attempts to murder Malloy prove futile, as he appears impossible to eliminate.
As their schemes to kill Malloy continue to fail, Marino and Bastogne develop an unlikely bond. The film's story unfolds against the backdrop of Depression-era New York, building towards a poignant conclusion of sacrifice. Director De Felitta expressed enthusiasm for casting Roth and Spall, citing their ability to bring honesty and humor to the morally complex tale of two men finding redemption through each other.
Archstone Entertainment is handling worldwide sales for the film, with production handled by Stephen Endelman, Dan Grodnik, Louise Chater, and Jeff Wallner. The screenplay was co-written by De Felitta and David Zellerford.
