The End Records reports that Dark Floors, the horror movie based on an original idea from LORDI frontman Mr. Lordi, is premiering at a monster event tonight (February 6th) in Oulu, Finland at the Oulu Energia Arena.
Oulu Energia Arena, the home of the Finnish National Hockey League team Kärpät, will host an audience of 5,000 people to watch Dark Floors – the Lordi Motion Picture. The Finnish national premiere from Solar Films (www.solarfilms.com) is Friday, February 8th. This is Finland's biggest movie premiere ever and is being held in cooperation with the Northern Film and Media Foundation POEM and Oulun Kärpät.
Based on an original idea of Lordi frontman Mr. Lordi and director Pete Riski, Dark Floors – the Lordi Motion Picture is a classic horror film expected to make it big internationally. The English-language film was made with UK actors. Members of Lordi star as monsters who chase a group of people in a hospital where everyone has died. We hear Lordi's song 'Beast Loose In Paradise' during the closing credits.
Dark Floors is directed by Pete Riski and produced by Markus Selin. The film is written by Pekka Lehtosaari. It all started in an interview where Mr. Lordi said he would like Selin to contact him to discuss his idea for a film. Solar Films produced the ilm in cooperation with the Northern Film and Media Foundation POEM and the North Finland Film Commission (NFFC).
The band released its album The Arockalypse in North America on March 20th via The End Records.
