TrickCandle Productions has signed a $10 million dollar deal with the Han Shi Group of China to produce a slate of three to five films over the next three years. The first film in TCP’s slate is the drama entitled Sprawl, written by Domenic Migliore, directed by Dean Ronalds (Netherbeast Incorporated), and starring “America’s Next Top Model” winner Nicole Fox. The film, currently in pre-production, will be produced by Malloy and Brian Ronalds. Shooting will start October 25 in Los Angeles and continue through mid-November.

TCP is also producing a yet-to-be-named thriller produced by Malloy. The film has been written and will be directed by horror icon Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’s Play). The project is currently in pre-production and will begin shooting November 28 in Los Angeles. r Tom Malloy, Trick Candle Productions is known for its quality independent films that span a variety of genres. The roster of films written and produced by Malloy over the years include LOVE N’ DANCING, which was directed by Robert Iscove (She’s All That), and stars Amy Smart, Malloy, Billy Zane, Rachel Dratch, and Betty White; and the psychological thriller THE ALPHABET KILLER, directed by Rob Schmidt (Wrong Turn, Crime & Punishment in Suburbia) and stars Eliza Dushku, Cary Elwes, Malloy, Timothy Hutton, Michael Ironside, and Oscar Winner Melissa Leo.

Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate’s The Devil’s Double takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Bagdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein’s palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the “royal family” when he’s ordered to become the body double – to Saddam’s son, the notorious “Black Prince” Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality.

With his and his family’s lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of the Black Prince’s psychotic, drug-addled life of fast cars, easy women and impulsive violence. With one wrong move costing him his life, Latif forges an intimate bond with Sarrab (Ludivine Sagnier), Uday’s seductive mistress who’s haunted by her own secrets. But as war looms with Kuwait and Uday’s depraved gangster regime threatens to destroy them all, Latif realizes that escape from the devil’s den will only come at the highest possible cost.

Featuring a riveting double performance by Dominic Cooper (AN EDUCATION, MAMA MIA) in the roles of Latif Yahia and Uday Hussein, THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE is a dynamic, chilling adaptation of Latif Yahia’s autobiographical novel, charting one man’s defiant struggle to survive a viper’s pit of corruption and brutality.  The film is directed by Lee Tamahori (DIE ANOTHER DAY, XXX: STATE OF THE UNION) and written by Michael Thomas (BACKBEAT, SCANDAL).

Color the Night is an innovative film that “Color the Night” takes place inside and outside the mind of NARUMI, a twenty-something woman who plans her date night which takes us on a visually striking journey of her active imagination. Narumi’s journey features her preparation and the arrival of her date, Gabe. In the film, different objects and moments will spark brief fantasy sequences in which she will interact with different environments, wearing various looks all dominated by a specific color.

The production team of Color the Night will collaborate with non-profit organizations to create social awareness of certain issues such as Breast Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, and others. Part of the proceeds raised from the screenings will be donated to our partner organizations.

Gianni Capaldi: It was a great piece put together granting children from Make-a-Wish Foundation a chance to act, assistant direct and produce this movie. There was a feel-good atmosphere on set and for once so many left their egos at home and it was all about the kids. Morgan delivered a dream come true to these kids by working on set with them. It was an honor to be asked to show up for these kids and to work with like minded actors.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: Do you enjoy your celebrity star status?

Gianni Capaldi: Ask me in a years time. I’m pretty humble however if you want to give me a better seat at a U2 concert, I doubt I would complain.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: Name one actress that you would want to be your leading lady in a film?

Gianni Capaldi: Sienna Miller or Megan Fox (Sorry Brian even though we just worked together, I wouldn’t mind stealing her on set)

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: What would you do if you weren’t in the film industry?

Gianni Capaldi: I guess I would always wonder what it would be like. I think you have to try everything in life and if you don’t at least try it once you will regret that chance. I for one haven’t

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: If you could share a secret about yourself, what would it be?

Gianni Capaldi: I always stop to help the homeless, can’t stop myself from trying to assist them. Another one, I have a little crush on Carrie Underwood and Sienna Miller. Secrets out the bag.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: What is the biggest misconception about actors and producers in Hollywood?

Gianni Capaldi: I guess unless you’re working on a solid project or have anything coming out people don’t take actors seriously and shun them. They forget the odds of probability for an actor to work in this town and to those who do work, well, I guess we got lucky. Producers are seen as people who could put you in a movie, realistically is that they would never jeopardize a film’s credibility just because a girl is pretty or someone is a friend. It has to fit artistically for the better of the movie.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: How would you advise an up and coming actor or producer in getting their name and skills out to the industry?

Gianni Capaldi: First of all know your trade as an actor then network, network, network. It’s important to NOT sit back and wait for an audition. Make your own destiny, write a script, write two, get involved in producing. You must always increase your toolbox as a producer by building up your connections, actors, distributors, financiers, directors. Keep on building, your toolbox can never get too big.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: What was your first major breakthrough in Hollywood?

Gianni Capaldi: I starred in a movie distributed thru SONY which comes out May 31st 2011 called “The Cross.” I worked with some of my most admired actors such as Tom Sizemore, Michael Clarke Duncan and Vinnie Jones. Followed swiftly by working with Morgan Freeman. When you start with these guys you are truly blessed.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: Do you prefer acting over producing?

Gianni Capaldi: I prefer acting. Producing is seriously the hardest work I have ever done, it’s truly in the trenches of Hollywood. When I’m acting I sit back, eat, run lines and then get called. When you’re producing it’s a 24/7 process…

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: Are there any actresses or actors you would love to work with?

Gianni Capaldi: Yes, I’m working on 2 projects. I’m trying to attach Kiera Knightley to one and Megan Fox to the other. Something which would seriously feel like a major achievement in my career. I’m looking forward to working with Peter O’toole this summer in “Defining Moments.” He for me is an absolute legend. Although my true hero has to be Daniel Day Lewis… If you ever read this Daniel, I’m game!

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: What’s in the pipeline for the upcoming year? Are there any film projects we should be looking out for?

Gianni Capaldi: Im shooting 3 projects in Canada in May/June “Complicated” (Comedy), “The Wicked Within” (Paranormal) and “Glimmer” (horror), these are my next three then I’m back in Canada for “Defining Moments” with Peter O’Toole and Rhys Ilfans. I also want to get “Grief” in the can, a paranormal movie I wrote myself sometime.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: Can you talk us through how you produce a film and what the challenges are for you?

Gianni Capaldi: First of all is finding a suitable script. Genre, storyline and how it’s written is important. Intelligent writing doesn’t rocket the projected budget. Then you must think of what cast you would like to attach. This in turn must make sense for the budget of the production. Then you would figure out location and what kind of locations offer suitable tax credits etc. Then raise your money. Look for soft money (favors) and then get yourself into pre-production and have fun!

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: When you first started in the film industry, did you plan to just act or was producing always something you wanted to pursue?

Gianni Capaldi: I have been in this professionally for one year, and I have to say if I could have the choice I would say acting would be my preferential choice in this industry. However, I’ve always liked achieving and business has always been a hobby in my life so I guess producing fulfills that for me. Truthfully tho, walking on a set when everything is ready to go is the bees knees…

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: What film producer would you most like to collaborate with?

Gianni Capaldi: I think it would be a toss-up between James Cameron and Mel Gibson. I respect what Mel did with “Braveheart” and “Passion of the Christ,” the business aspect alone from some of these movies were phenomenal if success was translated into profits. As far as James Cameron is concerned he truly is a genius. His projects are second to none.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: Before we close this up, what is the one question interviewers never ask you, but should?

Gianni Capaldi: May we give you a million to finance a movie? Just kidding. I guess interviewers never really ask you about important real life subjects such as what topics you feel strongly about, what we should try and change in the world to make it a better place, etc. etc. Also depends on the interviewer I guess, if she looked a bit like Sienna Miller then asking if I wanted to do dinner seems to never be asked.

Egyptianman Entertainment Group: One final question for you: Who’s  the Greatest actress, actor and producer of All Time?

Gianni Capaldi: Greatest actor for me has to be Daniel Day Lewis. Actress is a tough one however toss up between Audrey Hepburn and Julia Roberts for me, 2 totally different styles but both the best at what they do. Producer wise may I say Spielberg or Cameron? I think I just did.

NextMovie.com editors selected the 25 best movies of 2010 that were their top picks in this years film round-ups. This was a year in which sequels (“Toy Story 3,” Iron Man 2″), “originals” (“Inception,” “Despicable Me”) and movies somewhere in between (“Alice in Wonderland”) dominated the box office side-by-side. The list includes box office faves like Eclipse (#25) and Inception (#4) to indie films like Catfish (#22) to intense dramas like 127 Hours (#5). At #1, the editors selected The Social Network.

The 25 Best Movies of 2010

25. ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’

That vampire-werewolf-human love triangle reached hot new heights with its third – and strongest – installment this summer. With the highly anticipated tent scene, the battle against Victoria and the newborns and (swoon) that marriage proposal, the flick was so action-packed, smooch-packed and six-packed, fans’ cries of pure joy are still ringing in our ears. Or maybe those sounds are caused by the fact that we have to wait until next November to see “Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” Sigh. –Breanne L. Heldman

24. ‘Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World’

Most mainstream movie fans skipped this comic book adaptation when it was in theaters – maybe they missed the obvious allure of Mary Elizabeth Winstead with multi-colored hair and vintage video game references. Here’s what else those short-sighted squares missed: adorkable performances by Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim and Ellen Wong as his sort-of-ex-girlfriend Knives Chau, a seamless integration of comic-style storytelling and big screen action, some sweet-ass fight scenes and one of the greatest soundtracks we’ve heard in years. – Brooke Tarnoff

23. ‘Machete’

Robert Rodriguez’s gloriously over-the-top intro to “Mexploitation” (can this be an ongoing genre please?) didn’t do so bueno at the box office, which is a shame: Audiences missed out on one of the year’s most ridiculously fun movies. Granted, with a plot that paints an “illegal” as idol and gun-toting border patrol vigilantes and conservative politicians as diabolical d-bags, your stance on the immigration debate will obviously affect your feelings toward the film. But how can you not root for the rugged and scar-faced Danny Trejo? And remember, Machete don’t text. –Kevin Polowy

22. ‘Catfish’

Is this a really a documentary or did filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost “uncover” a “mystery” they’d already solved before turning on their cameras? A more important question might be… how much do we really care? Whether the story of internet romance and false identity is 100 percent organic, it’s indisputably riveting, capturing a sense of dread and foreboding we haven’t felt since the Blair Witch messed up those other real-life documentarians. – BT

21. ‘Get Him to the Greek’

“The Other Guys” is widely considered the best comedy of the year (well, except by the Golden Globes, which would probably give that honor to “The Tourist”), but this relatively unheralded laugh riot is worth a second or third look. Russell Brand finishes what he started in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” delivering trademark rapid-fire wit and bombastic style in his first star vehicle, Jonah Hill conjures up heaps of humor just trying to keep up, and Sean “He’ll Always Be Puffy” Combs nearly steals the entire show as a record mogul you really don’t want to f**k with.  –KP

20. ‘Animal Kingdom’

One of those movies that will make you praise God (or James Cameron) that your family is only just dysfunctional, this haunting and intense Australian import about a quiet teen (James Frecheville) forced to move in with his extended kin of killers and criminals takes the opposite approach of crime classics like “The Godfather” and “The Sopranos.” Their life’s work is deglamorized, and this is one clan you wouldn’t want to be a part of, overseen by should-be-Oscar winner Jacki Weaver’s matriarch, a woman who makes Mommie Dearest look like Peggy Bundy. –KP

19. ‘Despicable Me’

Who hasn’t fantasized about having a bunch of minions to do your evil bidding? Now imagine those minions yellow, cute and in super-cool 3-D. The animated flick about a supervillain (voiced by Steve Carell) who turns out to have a heart as golden as those minions, not only warmed our grown-up hearts, it inspired some serious laughs. Placing this treat this low in our top 25 only proves what a fantastic year it’s been for animated movies. –BLH

18. ‘Blue Valentine’

Don’t take a new date to see this tough drama, which teeters between the puppy-love courtship and years-later unhappy union of a now-married couple (Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams), likable but normally flawed people. A meditation on the nature of romantic relationships that’s undeniably depressing yet incredibly insightful, the film is buoyed by a pair of remarkable performances from two of their generation’s best. So while new couples may want to avoid this one on principle, it will at least make singletons not long for that loving feeling. – KP

17. Kick-Ass

It’s been a great year for the unlikely action star (see gun-toting Helen Mirren), but top honors belong to one pint-sized she-ninja: Chloe Moretz. The 13-year-old is cast in seven films coming out next year, and she clearly owes her status of It Girl to Hit Girl, the foul-mouthed baby ass-kicker of “Kick-Ass.” Moretz is just one of the movie’s charms — deep down, we identify with the main character’s urge to throw on his green jammies and fight crime, and it’s always a pleasure to see Nic Cage in an increasingly rare moment of true greatness. – BT

16. ‘Winter’s Bone’

Like “Frozen River” two years ago, this micro-budgeted indie set in the Heartland has taken Hollywood by storm (if not necessarily America), at least in terms of award circuits and critics lists. Breakout star Jennifer Lawrence is a revelation as the film’s tormented heart and soul, a poor teen in rural Missouri forced to care and provide for her ill mother and siblings while trying to chase down her meth-cooking pops.  This quiet thriller heads into unexpected terrain and has the ammunition to shock. It might make you afraid of Missouri, too.  –KP

15. ‘Easy A’

It’s the kind of movie made for a slumber party — witty, a little naughty, and featuring sleepover movie queen  Amanda Bynes. Lucky for anyone hoping to make a buck from the production, “Easy A” also has a sharp script, a deluge of references to ’80s films, a stellar performance by star Emma Stone, and an equally fine performance by her cleavage in a series of corsets. Also, we dare you to find a set of cooler movie parents than Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson. (No, seriously. Let’s play Truth or Dare. We just put on “Easy A” and the s’mores are almost ready.) – BT

14. ‘Let Me In’

Movie buffs were irate when it was announced that “Cloverfield”‘s Matt Reeves was directing an American version of the popular Swedish horror film, “Let the Right One In.” But anyone who gave it a chance owes Reeves and stars Chloe Moretz and Kodi Smit-McPhee their props; not only is the remake totally loyal to its subtle-yet-scary source material, but some even argue that this telling of the vampire tale is superior. –BLH

13. ‘The Town’

We’ve seen plenty of bank robber movies and a slew of Boston-is-a-gritty-city flicks, but this one is a rarity — it did well in the box office and is now on a somewhat surprising awards nomination tear. Ben Affleck proves yet again that he makes a solid writer and director, Jeremy Renner reassures any doubters that his “Hurt Locker” performance was no fluke, and even “Gossip Girl” starlet Blake Lively makes it clear she can do more than don a plunging neckline and Jimmy Choos. –BLH

12. ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

In a year that wasn’t so spectacular for the 3-D boom (at least in terms of quality… enough with the retrofitting, mmm k?), animated 3-D films were the medium’s shining stars, and none made better use of the added dimension than this high-soaring adventure. But beyond the dazzling visuals, there’s the profound friendship at the film’s core, between a boy and his “pet” dragon, and applauded messages of peace and understanding. Sure, they might be different colors (and breathe fire), but can’t we all just get along? – KP

11. ‘The Fighter’

Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo and Amy Adams pack a one-two-three-four punch in this true tale of boxing champ Micky Ward and his debilitatingly dysfunctional family, and director David O. Russell swings for much more than just a sports biopic. Bale is heartbreakingly scary-skinny as Ward’s junkie brother/trainer and probable Oscar contender Leo (“Frozen River”) gives her second scene-stealing performance of the year after “Welcome to the Rileys.” –BLH

10. ‘The Other Guys’

Will Ferrell is funny. This comes as a shock to no one — we’ve all seen “Old School.” But even though Mark Wahlberg’s given us a few comedy sneak previews (“Date Night,” “SNL”… “Fear”), we were still bowled over by his scene-stealing performance. It was a lean year for comedy, but the power-duo of Ferrell and Wahlberg — plus some amazing cameos, priceless quotables and Eva Mendes looking exceptionally fine — would still make our list among stiffer competition. – BT

9. ‘The Kids Are All Right’

Much like TV’s sensation “Modern Family,” this sleeper hit (about a lesbian couple whose teenage kids seek out their biological daddy) takes  a fresh and refreshing look at a 21st century nuclear family, a portrayal that’s honest, heartfelt and humorous. Unlike the film sensation “Brokeback Mountain” (regrettably dubbed “the gay cowboy movie”), it has avoided being defined by its main characters’ sexuality. And have we mentioned how superb the performances are? Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo are veritably great, but Annette Bening is downright sensational and should finally land an Oscar. – KP

8.  ‘True Grit’

If you haven’t seen John Wayne in the 1969 original, fear not — the 2010 version has everything you need: Jeff Bridges at his mush-mouthed best, a sturdy performance from breakout star Hailee Steinfeld, Matt Damon providing some comic relief and, despite the moments of levity that mark most Coen Brothers movies, some real grit. “True Grit” holds onto the earnestness of classic American Westerns but explores a brutality that puts the good old days in perspective. — BT

7.  ‘The King’s Speech’

Oscar buzz can be the kiss of death for a movie that opens in limited release — by the time it shows up in your local theater, you’re already sick of talking about it, but “The King’s Speech” is the rare gem that deserves every ounce of praise.  If you’re thinking, (and we wouldn’t blame you) “there’s no way a King George VI biopic can be anything but painfully boring,” take the leap of faith. In addition to being the first period bromance in recorded history, it’s an amazing, inspiring story. — BT

6. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1′

When a movie makes audience members cry within the first few minutes, how can it not be one of the best movies of the year (see also: last year’s “Up”)? This chapter served as a fitting and emotional beginning of the end for our favorite Hogwarts students and was arguably the most true to the source novels of any of the seven adaptations thus far. Sure, Hermione got a little more naked and Kreacher lacked screen time, but Dobby’s demise was one of the most heartbreaking moments of the books and, appropriately, of the year in cinema. We cannot wait to see the final chapter in July, but are devastated at the thought of saying goodbye to our pals. — BLH

5. ’127 Hours’

A movie about a guy trapped alone in a canyon for days should be pretty lame, right? But with the combination of the talents of “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle and inspired star James Franco, this movie is anything but boring. For some, seeing Franco’s Aron Ralston cut off his limb sent them running for the restroom (or even the hospital), but for us, the highlight of the film is experiencing the butterflies that went all a-flutter just as Ralston’s impending disaster was about to strike. Of course that’s just where the adventure begins. –BLH

4. ‘Inception’

The mind-f**ker to end all mind-f**kers, Christopher Nolan’s futuristic thriller/mind-heist flick was the most debated movie of the year, and almost required repeated viewings for moviegoers to responsibly engage in the dialogue (multiple dream levels? A better racket than 3-D IMAX showings). But beyond the astounding FX, layered narratives and cliffhanging climax, what’s most reassuring about “Inception” is that it was a summer sensation that wasn’t a sequel, prequel, remake, or based on a book, comic, TV show, “SNL” skit, theme park ride, informerical, etc. It was a unique, original idea. Let’s hope Nolan’s planted that thought in Hollywood’s collective mind. –KP

3. ‘Toy Story 3′

Seriously, who didn’t sob watching this movie? The return of Woody, Buzz and friends alone is enough to put a smile on our faces, but watching the toys bid farewell to their beloved Andy as he heads to college had huge, wet teardrops streaming down our cheeks. Kids may see colors and talking playthings when they watch these films, but we see pure brilliance and a real need to pass the tissues. –BLH

2. ‘Black Swan’

Ladies, ballet enthusiasts and cinephiles, may we interest you in a dance movie directed by the incomparable Darren Aronofsky, with performances guaranteed to garner Oscar nominations and a story that you’ll mull over for days? Gentlemen and other fans of girl-on-girl action, may we interest you in a psychological thriller that features Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis totally getting it on, in a scene that may or may not be real, but features Portman and Kunis doing it regardless? Amazingly, it’s the same movie. And it’s wonderful. – BT

1. ‘The Social Network’

Like “Black Swan” and ballet, director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin weaved a thoroughly riveting tale from the unlikeliest of topics: the creation of Facebook. His expose of its formation by antihero Mark Zuckerberg (gotta love that one of the film’s prevalent themes hinged on the debate as to whether or not Zuckerberg was, in fact, an a-hole; it’s no wonder the guy is donating half of his wealth to charity) grips you in the opening scene and doesn’t let go for the next 119 minutes, as we hang onto its razor-sharp dialogue, behold its grade-A performances (Jesse Eisenberg is especially brilliant) and marvel at the real-life making of a modern-day billionaire. It’s still hard to believe “the Facebook movie” turned out to be a work of genius. — KP

EVOL – Eternally Optimistic Apparel launches its online retail store this week, offering men and women comfortable, affordable clothing that stands for something. A favorite of Blues Traveler, Vonrenzo and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe’s hubby, Rodger Berman, celebrities are spreading the EVOL word. A champion of optimism, the EVOL collection sends a message. Each T-shirt, tank, hat and accessory serves as a canvas of contagious, positive energy.

Creative edgy designs like the broken heart mended together, a pair of boxing gloves, the toy gun and more, symbolize the inner strength it takes to get knocked down and get back up again. Conceived as an irreverent take on a dateless Valentine’s Day, designer Andrew Rubin created and printed a small line of EVOL shirts. He handed them out at a group dinner (where not one of his 15 friends had a boyfriend, girlfriend or significant other) and received an amazing reaction of knowing smiles and outright laughter. According to Rubin, EVOL is about triumph and overcoming the adversity that life presents in an irreverently cheeky style.

Prices range from $45.00 – $95.00 (for the zip-up hoody pictured on Rodger Berman in Soho during fashion week). EVOL apparel is available at various boutiques throughout the U.S. and online at EVOL.com
