With the film set to hit theaters on February 8, The Deadbolt found Colin farrell at the New York City press day where he dished the dirt on everything from working with Brendan Gleeson and life in Bruges to the film's premiere in Dublin, Ireland and the adventures of the project at large.

Colin Farrell on the adventures he had in making In Bruges:

"The whole job was an adventure, really. You're taking that script and realizing that it’s a wonderful adventure to be on. Bruges itself is a very beautiful city, a very magical place, but when we arrived there it was the middle of winter, so it was dark every day. You know the way that you bring to a place the way you are feeling? Whatever that mood may be, like you could go to the place in the world [after] two different years and you’ll find two different places. And it’s not the place which has changed, it’s you and whatever you’re feeling when you go there. So with that in mind, playing the character of Ray, I was basically playing a character who was suicidal for three days and I found Bruges fittingly oppressive, which is not to say the city was that way, it’s just what I found."

Farrell on how he brought his character to life:

"I don’t know he’s just - you go wherever you go, and say it like you mean it. I don’t know if it was easy or hard, it was just an adventure and a lot of fun, it was such a good script. It was the best script I’d ever read and I’ve read quite a few decent ones in my time. We had three weeks of rehearsal, myself and Martin [McDonagh] and Brendan [Gleeson] and Clemence [Poesy], Ralph [Fiennes] wasn’t there, but then again I didn’t do that much work with Ralph. We had three weeks to get into it and flesh it out, because some of the situations were so funny."

On working opposite Brendan Gleeson:

"It was grand, you know. You find yourself being in the shade a lot. [laughs] He’s gorgeous, a wonderful man and a wonderful actor, a great artist, musician, storyteller, writer, and actor. I just had a laugh with him, he’s one of them fellas - some people you can get an idea from looking at their work that you might like them or you maybe [might] not get on with them. I kind of knew that he’d be what he was, which is [that he's] just made of the right stuff, really. He works hard and is very curious into digging and doing the work. I’ve been a fan of his for years, of course, and really wanted to work with him. To do it was a thrill to do something that was so intimate."
