SF Studios will co-produce and distribute “Kalevala: The Story of Kullervo,” a big-budget historical drama based on the Finnish national epic “Kalevala,” directed by Antti J. Jokinen (“Helene,” “Purge”).
Nordic stars Elias Salonen ("Adults," "Siege") and Eero Aho ("The Unknown Soldier") will star. Johanna Enäsuo and Marko Röhr of ReelMedia will produce, while SF Studios will distribute the film in the Nordic countries with an expected release in Finnish theaters in early 2026. REinvent has started international sales.
“Kalevala: The Story of Kullervo” is the first feature film adaptation of the Finnish national epic poetry collection “Kalevala”, which combines Karelian and Finnish folklore and mythology and was created in 1835 by Elias Lönnrot, a Finnish physician and explorer.
