![]() Were there any experiences or moments that really stood out to you in the making of Deadlock? The action without the fun is not what you want, so I think audiences will really enjoy this one for that. You know Bruce is going to put that in, so we wanted to do that as well. That's what I think the audience will enjoy about it, everyone from Jared on down, wanted to have humor laced throughout. So, in the spirit of the Die Hard movies, we were kind of making some of the fun stuff up on the fly. When you shoot a movie like this on the fly, everybody's got to be down to contribute, and that's what it was, but we wanted to keep the fun in it, instead of just doing a formulaic action movie. Matthew Marsden and I were supposed to have this big fight, but we rethought it, and on the fly, we came up with this dialogue exchange that I think is one of the strongest scenes in the movie. Patrick Muldoon: On this, Matthew Mardsen, Jared, and Brandon Cox (our DP), Douglas Matthews, and everybody, we'd go to the bar at the hotel at the end of the day and be adjusting dialogue and scenes a lot. What was the experience like of working with the cast and crew, including director Jared Cohn, and your co-stars like Bruce Willis and Matthew Marsden? It's above sea-level water going downhill, and it's really hard to believe. So, it's a cool setup, and during filming, they actually opened the gates for us to show us what happens potentially if a dam broke, and we filmed it, so it's part of the movie. But the plot of the movie is that Bruce Willis' character is going to open the gates and take out these towns, and in actuality, it's just awesome power. ![]() Patrick Muldoon: Well, I don't think I've ever been privy to what the power of an actual dam is and what that means. ![]() Other than going through the pandemic, what really stood out to you about the making of Deadlock? That's what a lot of productions go through these days, unfortunately, but we got lucky and we went straight through. But, safety first, and luckily, there was no COVID shut down, because all it takes is one person to get it, and you have to shut down. Patrick Muldoon: Well, you get a cotton swab stuffed up your nose every day, everybody does, and that's just the way it is, and I think it's the way it's going to be for quite some time. When Deadlock got started, what was the experience like of having to coordinate around the effects of the pandemic? Because of COVID, we had a bunch of false starts. Patrick Muldoon: Well, we were supposed to shoot it in September, then October, then November, and we finally did it in February of 2021. How did the pandemic factor into the making of Deadlock? Anytime you get to work with an icon like that, you kind of pinch yourself, and I was elated to get the call for it. In preparation for Deadlock, because it's reminiscent of Die Hard, I watched all the Die Hard movies again. Patrick Muldoon: I got involved by getting a call from my manager saying, " Do you want to do a movie with Bruce Willis?" And I said, " Thank you manager, and thank you God!" It was weird that you get a call like that, and Bruce is one of the reasons I got into acting in the first place. Screen Rant: How did you become involved in Deadlock? We speak to Patrick Muldoon about the making of Deadlock, working with Bruce Willis and director Jared Cohn, and how the COVID-19 pandemic presented different challenges to the making of the movie. To see which Bruce Willis movie makes the final cut, the Razzies will be airing on March 26, the day before the Oscars.RELATED: Every Similarity Between Girl In The Spider's Web & Bruce Willis' Mercury Rising ![]() With the tagline “Own your bad,” receiving a Razzie is a definitive, albeit humorous, career fail.

Netflix’s film capture of Diana: The Musical leads the charge this year with nine nominations. The Razzie Awards are the dark counterpart to other prestigious awards-season mainstays like the Emmys and the Oscars. There’s nothing like a cringey goth power couple to throw you off your game. He starred alongside Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, who are in their Angelina Jolie–Billy Bob era as we speak. Midnight in the Switchgrass was dead last in Vulture’s ranking of straight-to-VOD Bruce Willis films, with our reviewer commenting, “Bruce Willis is a nonessential worker here.” But let him off the hook a little. “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie” is the name of the new category, and the nominations include every single film he starred in last year, including American Siege, Apex, Cosmic Sin, Deadlock, Fortress, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Out of Death, and Survive the Game. Bruce Willis - who starred in no less than eight movies in 2021 - has been given his own category at the 42nd annual Razzie Awards.
