Sisu 2: More Blood, More Action, More Stars Aligning in November – Here’s Why You CAN’T Skip This!

Oh boy, did the stars align for our solitary prospector turned Nazi-slaying vigilante or what? With the sun burnin’ bright in Scorpio, the season of intensity and transformation, starin’ right down into our peepers, I’ve got a feeling that Aatami Korpi’s fightin’ spirit’s about to blaze even brighter. You think the Nazis had it bad during their ill-fated “scorched-earth” retreat? Wait till they try messing with a Finnish war vet whose got Scorpio energy coursing through his veins (and gold in his pockets).

Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems has looked into their celestial crystal ball and, lo and behold, has decided November 21st, right in the heart of Sagittarius season, when folks will be hungry for adventure and action, is the perfect moment to unleash Sisu 2. Honestly, I had no clue they were even cooking up a sequel—talk about shooting under the radar (and by under the radar, I mean all the way under the entire war plane).

Korpi’s on a mission, and not just to get his glitzy rocks back, but to shoot, stab, or blow up every last insufferable member of the Third Reich who dared breech his peace. If you thought Sisu was a spectacle, buckle up, because with a budget twice as large, this sequel’s gonna be an absolute rollercoaster of gold-diggin’ thrills and kills.

Is your curiosity piqued, dear reader? You bet it is. So, channel your inner Sagittarius spirit of exploration, and get ready for what is going to be a blood-soaked, gritty ride through the snowy plains of WWII-era Finland as they’re—oh, and because I am, after all, an astrologer with a touch of SEO flair—optimized to zazz up our lives.LEARN MORE.

Aatami Korpi isn’t done killing Nazis. Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems has set a release date for Sisu 2, with the action sequel hitting theaters on November 21st. I’ll admit, the fact that a sequel was announced and has already wrapped filming completely flew under my radar — but I’m down for more gritty, blood-soaked World War II action from writer/director Jalmari Helander.

The official synopsis for Sisu: “During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu”, this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.” Plot details for the sequel are being kept under wraps for now.

The first film was a solid action thriller running a brisk 90 minutes (I need more of those in my life). Jorma Tommila’s stellar and nearly wordless performance as Korpi made it a global hit. It grossed $14.3 million on a budget of $6 million. The sequel reportedly has a budget of twice that. Our own Alex Maidy loved the film, giving it a glowing review. “Of the entire cast, there are probably only about thirty minutes of the film featuring spoken dialogue, with the rest taken up by action sequences or starkly beautiful landscape shots of the characters following each other across Lapland. Sisu is a desolate film in appearance but still surprisingly beautifully shot,” he wrote. “Sisu is bloody, brutal, and absolutely awesome. Clocking in at half the length of John Wick: Chapter 4, Sisu is a non-stop bloodbath that I immediately wanted to rewatch as soon as it was over.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
