Director Antti Haase is working on a documentary film of the life of Tomi Putaansuu aka Mr Lordi. It should premiere in spring 2014 and will have a look at the past and behind the scenes how a little boy named Tomi became a world famous monster and Eurovision winner. "Tomi was already as a kid the only person I have ever know who wanted to be a monster" Antti tells. "I believe his story is rather universal and will touch all those who haven't given up on their dreams despite difficulties and setbacks. We want to give a peak into his life and the hard work and life behind the masks." This is the first time the band lets anyone that close behind the scenes. As we remember the band kept their masks on all the time even in the heat of Athens. "Antti is the right guy to do this" comments Mr Lordi himself, "as he knows the background and where we come from. Our homes were just 200 meters apart as kids!"
The documentary will feature also footage from Tomi's childhood and the band's early stages and has been filmed along the way in Finland, Europe and United States and will have an international release.
