EXCLUSIVE Alessio Filippelli To Star in Film Debut “99 Chances of Love”
Narval Films Casts Alessio Filippelli as the “Hitman” in “99 Chances of Love”
LOS ANGELES – In a striking crossover from the global fashion stage to the silver screen, international fashion figure Alessio Filippelli is set to make his highly anticipated film debut in the vertical drama “99 Chances of Love,” produced by Narval Films, with creative producer Aaron Yu and director Tianyi Wang at the helm. The project is being developed for Kalos TV.
Filippelli joins the cast portraying the enigmatic and layered character known only as the “Hitman,” a mysterious figure whose presence is expected to add emotional depth and narrative tension to the romance-driven storyline. The vertical-format drama, tailored for next-generation viewing platforms, explores themes of fate, redemption and unexpected love across a high-stakes emotional landscape.
Production officially wrapped on Feb. 12 in Los Angeles, with the film slated for release later in 2026.
For over five years, Filippelli has cultivated a commanding presence within the international fashion scene, earning recognition as a prominent and influential global figure. Known for his distinctive aesthetic and commanding on-camera persona, he has collaborated with leading fashion houses and built a cross-continental following, positioning himself as one of the most recognizable emerging personalities in the industry.
Director Tianyi Wang, whose previous work in serialized digital storytelling has garnered attention for its visual precision and emotional pacing, brings a cinematic sensibility to the vertical format, an increasingly competitive arena in global entertainment markets. With Narval Films backing the project and Kalos TV positioning the drama for international reach, the film aims to capitalize on the surging demand for premium short-form content.
Filippelli’s transition reflects a broader trend of high-profile fashion figures crossing into narrative entertainment, leveraging established global visibility into long-form storytelling opportunities.
As Hollywood continues to embrace global talent and evolving formats, Alessio Filippelli’s debut stands as a calculated and closely watched move, one that could redefine the trajectory of a figure already well-versed in commanding the spotlight.
