“Sisu: Road to Revenge,” Jalmari Helander’s follow up to his hit action-packed war film, has officially landed in theaters.
There could have been a world where “Sisu 2” didn’t happen. Helander told TheWrap in an interview that he had an idea for a sequel while filming the first movie, but when it came to actually work on it, he found the idea to be substandard.
“I realized that I didn’t want to do it because I didn’t think it was good enough,” Helander said. He was quickly reminded by his producer that they still owed the Finnish Film Foundation, which supported the original movie, a sequel.
“I started thinking again, and then I got the idea of going to get his house back from the Soviets, so that changed the ball game for me,” he explained. He wouldn’t reveal what his original idea was because he wants to keep that in his back pocket for third chapter.
