Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jalmari Helander expanded this from a 2010 short film; it's essentially his love letter to 80s Amblin adventures filtered through Finnish absurdism.
The scene where Jackson emerges from the escape pod in a suit, in the Finnish wilderness, is peak 'we're really doing this' cinema.
