In addition, Guarnaccia is in talks for a role in another Lupi production &#8220;WASTED&#8221; (formerly &#8220;Degradation&#8221;), written and produced with brother Daniel Lupi (&#8220;Lincoln,&#8221; &#8220;The Master,&#8221; &#8220;There Will Be Blood,&#8221; &#8220;Catch Me If You Can,&#8221; &#8220;Boogie Nights&#8221;). <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Kalm&#8221; is a bodyguard assigned to chauffeur a headlining exotic dancer to a desert town, when they get caught in the crossfire of warring drug lords. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Wasted&#8221; follows a suburban cop whose family is targeted by a maniacal mastermind who drags them through a gauntlet of deceit, deviant sexual behavior, and murder.<\/p>\n<p> Guarnaccia&#8217;s gritty film &#8220;Rules&#8221; grabbed the attention of Paul Lupi whose company Mill Reef Films is now in talks to co-produce properties in the Lightrow roster, which include &#8220;Wasted,&#8221; &#8220;The Next Big Hit,&#8221; &#8220;The Cook and The Thief,&#8221; and &#8220;Rules Reborn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Award-winning actor Zak Lee Guarnaccia&#8217;s rugged looks, relentless style of martial arts, and experience in stunt-work and action choreography has lead to his reputation as &#8220;The Italian Jackie Chan.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Guarnaccia says: &#8220;The movie is an extreme martial arts thriller, based on a man who goes by the name &#8216;Kalm.&#8217; The character&#8217;s demeanor intrigues me since I am an energetic and enthusiastic person, and I get to play against type, until all hell breaks loose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Kalm&#8221; is written by Ken Mora, writer\/producer of the spoof of Clint Eastwood&#8217;s &#8220;Dirty Harry&#8221; films entitled &#8220;Magnum Farce,&#8221; and boasts director of photography David Paul, of the film mythology &#8220;The Barbarians.&#8221; The production will create a distinct vision for &#8220;Kalm&#8221; which will be shot in the most desolate stretch of road in the USA.<\/p>\n<p> Guarnaccia&#8217;s recent appearances include the psychotic henchman on &#8220;NCIS Los Angeles&#8221; season 4 episode &#8220;Lokhay,&#8221; the lead role of Pancho Villa on Spike TV&#8217;s &#8220;Deadliest Warrior&#8221; season 3, a bodyguard in ABC&#8217;s &#8220;General Hospital,&#8221; and a nationally-aired American Express Commercial with Conan O&#8217;Brien.<\/p>\n<p> LightRow Pictures concurrent projects &#8220;The Next Big Hit,&#8221;
