Andy Garcia Joins Tim Roth and Timothy Spall in Murdering Michael Malloy
Andy Garcia has joined the cast of Murdering Michael Malloy, a true-crime drama that will star Tim Roth and Timothy Spall. Deadline reported the casting on Wednesday, 11 November 2026.
The film is based on a true-crime story from Depression-era New York, a period of hardship in the 1930s. Roth plays Tony Marino, a struggling bar owner. Spall plays Michael Malloy, the man at the centre of the story. Garcia plays a character named Bastogne.
Four more actors have joined the cast: Asia Kate Dillon, Frank Whaley, Michael Rispoli and James Madio. Their roles were not detailed.
Raymond De Felitta directs the film, and he wrote the screenplay with David Zellerford. The producers are Stephen Endelman, Dan Grodnik, Louise Chater, and Jeff Wallner and Tom Zheng of Harbor Lights Entertainment.
Production is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027, which runs from January to March. That gives the team a few months to finish preparations after the cast announcement.
The film is also being sold at the American Film Market, the industry trade event in November where distributors and buyers look at finished and in-progress films. Sales company Archstone continues to sell Murdering Michael Malloy there, according to the same report.
For a film still months from the cameras, casting news like this shapes how buyers and distributors see the project. Each name on the list can help a film find interest in markets around the world. The next concrete milestone is the start of shooting in early 2027.
