They are going to make a film wich is based on the life of Carl Gustaf Mannerheim (1867-1951), Commander-in-Chief of Finland's Defence Forces, Marshal of Finland, 6th President of Finland (1944-1946) and Regent of Finland (1918-1919).
In 2004 he was voted as the Greatest Finn by the public.
Renny Harlin left the film in May 2011. Replacement, Dome Karukoski, was announced in August 2011, but had already agreed to make the film in March, before Harlin's announcement.
Mannerheim film producer Solar Films had already applied for funding for the Russian project.
In December 2010, finally was captured: at that time, Solar Films producer, Jukka Helle signed a four million euro financing agreement with the International Foundation for Innovation and Invest-called Russian Foundation.
Sure, it´s amazing that just when a key financing agreement is signed, Harlin, withdrew from the patterns. Especially when the Mannerheim film has been a long, Renny Harlin's dream.
According to boulevard tabloid Iltalehti, information wich it received, in September Harlin's output was Russian investors, because they did not want to finance a movie directed by Renny Harlin. The reason for this was to Harlin's latest Georgian-Russian war film about.
5 Days of August, the movie raised a lot of resentment as in the Georgian opposition and also to Russia.
The film 5 Days of August can be for a good reason to call cheap propaganda junk.
About Dome Karukoski I do not want to say anything.
But if I were some `Russian financier´, I would do the same.
