Sitdown interview with Colin Farrell and Martin McDonagh including the following soundbites:\u003cbr/\u003e\"I didn't feel any pressure because of how well 'In Bruges' did in certain aspects, at all. So there was the familiarity of already having worked together and knowing Martin (McDonagh) for 10 years but there was also just a freshness of having this new experience as well, because the script was...it didn't feel anything like 'In Bruges' and the character I played in this felt completely different. Like if I had of played Billy it would have been closer to Ray, in 'In Bruges,' who was, you know, constantly saying what seemingly socially were inappropriate things and acting in kind of violent ways, kind of almost a fractured character who capsulated a load of different characters in one guy, but I was playing something completely different, so it was a new experience of discovery for me within a very familiar framework of working with this man.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"No. No, it's much easier than that. I wrote it in London rather than L.A. and it wasn't on commission, it was just me burrowing away, just thinking about crazy stuff. So no, my lifestyle isn't like the lifestyle of the writer that you play who has my name in the film. No, it's much more...it's probably less exciting but it's probably easier to do.\"\u003cbr/\u003eReporter: \"Slightly less dangerous for a start?\"\u003cbr/\u003eMartin McDonagh: \"Yes. It's much more sexy my way.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"I loved working with him. He's just brilliant. He's just so unique and I grew up watching so many of his films and so if you ever get the chance to work with someone who's work you've admired for years, you feel like you have a bit of a relationship with them already - all be it a one sided relationship if you're aware of it, if you're not then you're insane - so I had a one-sided relationship with him already and then I met him. I was nervous working with him, so much respect there and so much fondness and that familiarity, which is based on an illusion. Of course you meet the person and they sound the same but you don't know anything about them. He was just wonderful to watch work, every single scene, every single word that he uttered was just so interesting that at times is was hard not to just get caught up as a fan in the scene. And yet there is such a uniqueness to that man that there's a certain part of that that was ok in the scene as well because the character I was playing would find the character that Chris (Walken) was playing odd because of the things he was saying and the way he was saying them, so it was kind of trying to find the balance between how much can I go (pulls face) and how much of that is Colin (Farrell) just going (pulls face). How much of it is the character?\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"The dog was genius.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMartin McDonagh: \"The best of all of us.\"\u003cbr/\u003eColin Farrell: \"The dog was the most professional actor on the set, any given day. Really was.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMartin McDonagh: \"Quiet as a mouse the whole time.\"\u003cbr/\u003eColin Farrell: \"Quiet as a mouse, which is unusual for a dog, but it really was. Bonny the Shih Tzu. Chris (Walken) fell in love with the dog. They had a really good relationship.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"When you're story boarding or directing those scenes you want them to be as cinematic or as graphic or as true actually. You want to explore the truth of how awful violence is and then be able to comment on it, so it was, strangely it's all ketchup-y blood, so you're adding all that stuff and you're making sure the prosthetics...so it's just, the details of it when you're working first hand, it's fun and silly. It's only when it's cut together that it looks so appalling.\" \u003cbr/\u003e\"Yes, we're looking for seven.\u003cbr/\u003eColin Farrell: \"I told you to shoot it in black and white, you f**ker.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"No, I don't think anyone really thinks about that kind of stuff at all. I think that the film company at this time of year thinks about that kind of stuff more than we do, but who can say? We had lovely notices in that way on 'Bruges,' completely unexpectedly too because that definitely wasn't setup as Oscar bait and we got some nice attention so whatever happens happens.\"\u003cbr/\u003eColin Farrell: \"I just want to make good films really. Varying levels of success and failure on that but what you want to do each time really is make stuff that people are drawn to and feel like they didn't waste two hours of their life watching. I know that doesn't seem like the bar is set very high but really if you can entertain people and if they can leave the cinema with a certain curiosity or they need to maybe talk about the film or whatever afterwards, that's a huge thing. That's cool.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFURTHER RESTRICTIONS: none\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description' class='rp-full-description' type='button'\u003e\n\u003ci class='fai fa-solid fa-align-left'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003cspan id='read_more'\u003eRead More\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='rp-report'\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby='resource-details-heading' class='rp-info-section'\u003e\n\u003ch2 class='title' id='resource-details-heading'\u003eResource Details\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='rp-resource-details clearfix'\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCurator Rating\u003c/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"star-rating\" aria-label=\" out of 5 stars\" role=\"img\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"educator-rating-title\"\u003eEducator Rating\u003c/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"educator-rating-details\" data-path=\"/educator_ratings/rrp_data?resourceable_id=984024\u0026amp;resourceable_type=Boclips%3A%3AVideoMetadata\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"not-yet-rated\"\u003eNot yet Rated\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eGrade\u003c/dt\u003e\u003cdd title=\"Grade\"\u003eAll Grades\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSource:\u003c/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDate\u003c/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e2012\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003ci aria-hidden='true' class='fai fa-solid fa-language'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\n\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby='educator-ratings-heading' class='rp-info-section'\u003e\n\u003ch2 class='title sr-only' id='educator-ratings-heading'\u003eEducator Ratings\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"educator-ratings-root\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"all-educator-ratings-root\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"educator-rating-form-root\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='rp-resource'\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-label='Show resource details' class='rp-show-info' role='button' tabindex='0'\u003e\n\u003ci class='fai fa-solid fa-align-left'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\nShow resource details\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-label='Video player' class='player' id='player-wrapper' role='region'\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='relative container mx-auto' id='lp-boclips-visitor-thumbnail'\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"block\" data-html=\"true\" data-placement=\"bottom\" data-trigger=\"click\" data-content=\"\u003cdiv class=\u0026quot;text-center py-2\u0026quot;\u003e\u003ca class=\u0026quot;bold\u0026quot;
