WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE

For many, Renny Harlin is the Hollywood blockbuster filmmaker of the 1990s. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Die Hard 2, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Cliffhanger, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Deep Blue Sea and, yes, even Cutthroat Island - his films were grand spectacles, filled with humour and emotion and, above all, a vivid eye for action.

Over the last decade, he’s become a truly international director, making crowd pleasing entertainment in his homeland of Finland, as well as Hong Kong, mainland China and, with his latest - the action/comedy. The Misfits - the stunning United Arab Emirates.
