    One of my favourite films is Talvisota.

    Look forward to this one.

    I participated in this movie as an extra for a couple of days in june, it was a really fun experience with a lot of big bangs, real StuG IIIs in running order and even a few decent actors (extremely rare in Finland, I might add). The only sad thing was that the director, the legendary Åke Lindman, with whom I had the pleasure of exchanging a few words, was in pretty bad shape due to the heat and dust that rose all over the set. He later had to stop shooting and became hospitalized for two weeks, while the editor/2. director took over shooting the film. I don't know what to expect from the film, it could be that the artistic direction suffered a bit from the change of directors, but I'm still hopeful. Really looking forward to seeing it when it premieres on the Finnish day of independence, 7. dec.

    Actually, I didn't :D I was one of the survivors who withdrew from Tali after the failed counter-attack.

    Just check the trailer above. It has some interesting parts with T-34´s , at least it is quite alot more interesting than the first one they ever put out on the film.

    Damn, I still haven't seen this movie. How about other Finns here? Have you already seen it? Did you like it? I ask this, because the movie didn't get so great reviews.

    I noticed a week ago it had some 135,000 viewers so far. Not bad but not excellent. I guess the limit for getting money back in Finland could be around 50,000 viewers. And later when it is out on DVD I´m sure people buy loads of it.
