“Emma is great,” Lundgren said. “She’s wonderful. Great support.”
“And we work together on a bunch of projects. She’s very clever, and she’s very smart for her age or for any age. So we produce stuff together. We have another project. We’re working on a comedy.”
“She helps me with the script and during the production and post-production,” he said. “Just giving me a second opinion and double-checking.”
“So it’s actually getting married was a good choice,” he added. “I really enjoy it. Anything I do I usually try to prepare ahead of time, especially if I’m directing, so just working on the backstory and the relationships,” he said.
“In this particular case, the character reminded me of my dad quite a bit because my dad was kind of bitter. He was a smart guy. And, you know, he was just kind of bitter and kind of down on himself a lot and had some anger issues. And I kind of drew on that a little bit for this character. In my dad’s case, he got more mellow as he got older a little bit, but he didn’t quite turn the corner,” he added. “I think this character does has a little more of a 180 towards the end. And so that was satisfying too. It is difficult in one way to direct and star,” he said. “It’s nice to have a different director and not yourself. Somebody to give you advice and catch you on stuff and give you inspiration.”

He emphasized the movie’s entertainment value and underlying themes.
“Doing both is challenging because you’re always worried that you don’t turn over all the the rocks and see what’s under. You know, when you’re shooting. That’s why I usually have somebody on the monitors watching. And because these smaller movies, you got to move pretty fast. So it also helps when you have good actors. Roger Cross and Kelsey Grammer, people like that, Michael Paré,” Lundgren said.
“I’m used to directing and acting now,” he added. “You just want to prepare really well. That’s because then you feel safe and you don’t feel like you’re going to miss something. We met socially after that,” he said of meeting Krokdal following the filming of “The Expendables 3.”
“So I know him, and I think it was interesting. Somebody brought him up as an idea, and I thought it was unexpected, and it brings a different quality to it because he has a certain delivery.”

Additionally, Lundgren mentioned his upcoming unscripted show, “FLIP A CÖIN,” set to premiere on Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort Channel.
“It’s amusing and light. And because his character obviously has some other secrets, it makes it interesting. I’ve seen he’s very funny in that, but I just knew him as a person,” Lundgren said. “So I knew he was a very cool guy, and he wanted to do it really badly. So you know, that was all I needed.”
“It’s an entertaining picture,” he said. “It’s got action and it’s got a thriller storyline. It’s about something. It’s about immigration to some degree, which is something people are interested in. I think these days, it’s a big issue and topic. On a deeper level, it’s about a guy who’s in trouble,” Lundgren said. “He’s in trouble emotionally, he’s in trouble in his job, and he just has to step up. And he has to really face the reality of things, how things are.”
“And he has to find himself,” he added. “Become a thinking man, not a bitter man, not an angry man. So I think there are a few different levels of this picture that you can enjoy.”
