Dark Floors – The Lordi Motion Picture, based on a joint idea by Lordi singer Tomi Putaansuu and the film’s Finnish director Pete Riski, will be shot in its entirety in an old industrial hall in the Finnish city.
While Putaansuu (”Mr. Lordi”) will of course play an important role, all main actors in the English language film are British.
The script was written by Pekka Lehtosaari.
The total budget of the film is 4 million euros, which makes it the most expensive Finnish horror production to date.
Filming will continue well into July. Dark Floors is scheduled to premiere in February, 2008.
