![]() It's one of those mechanical marvels of the world that you don't really think too much about, but to actually be out there, seeing the force of the water, how cool the location is, seeing the turbines spinning, it's just the massive, massive power-creating apparatus. ![]() Jared Cohn: It was a really, really cool film on a real water dam. Other than dealing with the pandemic, what really stood out to you about the making of Deadlock? The only thing that happened in regards to COVID was that one of the actors that was cast got COVID before we started, so we had to recast that role. This was pre-vaccine, so they were shoving Q-tips up our noses every other day, but luckily, nobody got sick. The production was very much on top of it in terms of getting tested. At that point, we went into pre-production, and we finally shot it in Georgia.ĭid you have to contend with the pandemic at all during the making of Deadlock? Eventually, the script got in the right hands, and one thing led to another in terms of getting Bruce, and that sort of gave it the greenlight.

It's from the director of all manner of trash from The Asylum, which is like making a Roger Corman picture without any of the talent.Īs to how it makes money, chances are there's some minimum dollar or screen count required for some kind of union or contract qualification, so if the movie gets put in a theater for a week or two in order to meet that qualification, the theater's going to charge at least what it could have made by putting something (read: anything) else on that screen. What do you want? It's from the director of Atlantic Rim. I wanna see some receipts for that 11million USD. There was no build up, no suspense, no hook, nothing.
