MURDERING MICHAEL MALLOY - Screenplay Resurrection, S1 - TRAILER

Filmmakers Raymond De Felitta and David Zellerford have a candid conversation on the rich, complicated history of trying to turn their screenplay "Murdering Michael Malloy" into a movie—from the warm reception and enthusiastic participation of several major actors and investors, through the gradual decline of interest in the project, as world events and a changing marketplace stalled the project. They also discuss how it ultimately led to the positive development of this podcast and renewed interest in the projects future.

With Malloy's body missing, Marino and his gang have resorted to killing a body double as a substitute to collect on the insurance. Complications ensue when Marino is forced to come to terms with the fact that his plot did not produce the desired effect.

Multiple attempts by Marino and the gang on Malloy's life had been thwarted by a combination of incompetence and Malloy's iron constitution, but with Michael Malloy finally out of the picture, the gang takes the necessary steps toward collecting on the insurance policy.

Anthony Marino, having previously taken a life insurance policy out on his fiancée and cashed it in after he and his gang murder her, revives the scheme with a new victim and a simple plan.

Based on the notorious true-crime that happened in the Bronx, New York, in the early 1930s, a plot to murder Michael Malloy for a life insurance policy leads to a series of darkly comical twists, making this one of the weirdest murder tales ever. Series pilot, 1 of 4 episodes.
