We wanted the movie to feel that, while being very colorful, because I frankly don’t think movies are colorful enough at the moment. Life is there and bursting out through the frame — you just have to look for it.” Yet getting to that point of production was decades in the making.

Writer Paddy McDonald says “Deadly” originally developed alongside fellow Irish writer Paul Markey and was born from their love of martial arts movies, from Shaw Brothers classics to Jackie Chan blockbusters. “It’s been a bit of a labor of love for quite a long time,” McDonald says.

“It was an idea I came across with him 20 years ago. It’s been bouncing around my life a little bit since then, but properly started developing it in 2011.

I was living in Australia at the time. There’ve been a few different iterations of it and many, many drafts.

I was living away from Ireland and moved back a couple of years ago and did a page one rewrite, bringing it back home. That’s when it started to make the most sense and had its original Irish voice.” Once it came to filming, finding the right chemistry between the two central characters was central — and could help ground all of the disparate genres the film plays with.

“If we root the film in the relationship with the two boys together, Danny and Frank, then I think we can get away with all the other tones and not feel like they’re clashing together,” Costello says. “If we experience this clash happening through their eyes as they come into the movie and become more than just those lovable losers, the monsters and the magic and the comedy and the horror stuff will all work.

Making the relationship between the two boys work was critical.” Just as Danny and Frank found themselves trying to clean up supernatural entities
