When you think of tortured productions that were originally designed to launch sprawling franchises but ended up being cut short, a long list of big budget Hollywood titles will immediately come to mind. It’s a universal problem, though, as last year’s Finnish action thriller Omerta 6/12 can attest.
The project was first announced to be the beginning of a saga that would incorporate at least one sequel and a six-episode TV series, before the behind the scenes issues began. Credited director Aku Louhimies saw the script completely rewritten, but things got so troublesome that the sequel was abandoned altogether, while the episodic spinoff was reduced to four episodes instead.
