2023 Movie Getting Surprise Sequel
Additionally, the film will feature the return of its writer and director, Jalmari Helander. While the announcement of a sequel to his 2023 hit comes as a surprise, it may be even more surprising to note that the film will be released as quickly as this year. Now that's definitely surprising.
While the first film was released by Lionsgate, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions' Stage 6 Films only sold the domestic rights to that first film while keeping the global rights. For the sequel, they are continuing to keep global rights to the rather successful property.
As shared via Deadline:
'Sony Pictures' Screen Gems is releasing a sequel to Jalmari Helander's gritty World War II action movie Sisu .'
The outlet adds that the release date for the Sisu sequel has been marked for November 21, 2025. The film's release is also slated for theaters, which means that Sisu fans will be able to see the 2023 sequel on the big screen.
Actor Jorma Tommila will reprise his role for the sequel which will include two major actors in new roles: Richard Brake and Stephen Lang. Details regarding the follow-up are being kept under wraps, but hopefully we'll have more information in the near future. Especially if the release date will be following later this year.
Fans will be able to see the surprise sequel to 2023's Sisu in theaters on November 21, 2025. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for more updates regarding this highly-anticipated project from writer and director Jalmari Helander as we have them. It's definitely turning out to be a good time for original movies and IPs.

Veteran Boston TV news anchor claims she lost job because she's white
A Boston TV anchor claims in a lawsuit that she was demoted from her job because she's a white woman, alleging she was the supposed victim of a 'DEI agenda' at the Tiffany Network. Katherine Merrill Dunham, better known as Kate Merrill while serving as a longtime anchor for CBS affiliate WBZ-TV, filed a lawsuit against the station's corporate parents CBS and Paramount Global this month, alleging she was booted from the newsroom to appease corporate diversity quotas. The 51-year-old is an Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and is married to former NHL goalie Mike Dunham. She stunned viewers last year when she quit the station without giving viewers an explanation. In her suit, filed in Boston federal court Aug. 5, Merrill alleged that she was targeted by managers who said the morning show was 'too white' and by co-workers who filed 'malicious' race-based complaints against her, per the New York Post. The lawsuit cites exclusive reporting by the New York Post of then-CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, who was accused of using her position of power to promote minorities while sidelining white journalists during her tenure. HANSON: Why DEI was already dying 'THEY'RE NUTS': Kevin O'Leary slams Costco for doubling down on DEI policy Ciprian-Matthews was named as president of CBS News in August 2023 despite being the subject of an internal probe by the company two years earlier over her alleged hiring practices, the Post reported. 'WBZ-TV exploited such policies and took career-ending action against Ms. Merrill to advance a DEI agenda,' according to the complaint. Ciprian-Matthews stepped down last July and Paramount scrapped its DEI programs earlier this year. According to the complaint, the difficulties started when Jason Mikell, a Black co-worker and meteorologist at WBZ, allegedly 'made an inappropriate sexual innuendo about' Merrill 'on air' in February 2024 when he 'implied that Ms. Merrill and her co-anchor had sexual relations at a gazebo.' The lawsuit alleges that despite complaints to supervisors by Merrill's executive producer, Mikell 'was not disciplined for his sexually charged remark about Ms. Merrill.' In April 2024, after she privately texted him to correct a mispronunciation of 'Concord,' Mikell allegedly 'loudly yelled at her on the studio floor,' according to the suit. Merrill claims she quickly complained to human resources; however, a week later, Paramount's HR chief informed her that Mikell and Courtney Cole, a Black anchor hired by WBZ in 2022, had accused her of racial bias. After 20 years at the station, the Emmy-winning broadcaster charges that she was branded a racist, demoted in public and forced into a 'constructive discharge resignation.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO

Singer Tamar Braxton says she 'almost died' in weekend accident
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Singer, actor and reality TV star Tamar Braxton said Tuesday that she 'almost died' in a weekend accident that she doesn't remember. 'I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,' Braxton wrote in an Instagram post. 'I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility.' She added, 'I don't even know what happened to me.' Braxton, 48, earlier in the day had posted 'Thank you God for waking me up today,' in an Instagram story. She said she was getting calls after and was struggling to talk so she shared what had happened to her. The post also said 'the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins… pray for me for real.' An email to Braxton's manager seeking more details was not immediately answered. Braxton was part of a singing group with her sisters, including Toni Braxton, who went on to a major solo career. They and other family members appeared on the reality series 'Braxton Family Values' starting in 2011, and Tamar Braxton has since appeared in spin-offs and other reality shows. As an actor, her recent credits include the TV series 'Kingdom Business.' And she has spent much of the year on a solo singing tour.

White House launches official TikTok account with Trump featured prominently in debut video
From Pennsylvania Avenue to your For You page, the White House launched its official TikTok account on Tuesday afternoon. The verified account @whitehouse garnered thousands of followers within less than an hour. The bio reads "Welcome to the Golden Age of America." President Donald Trump is front and center in the White House's first video, which is captioned, "America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?" The post features footage of the president from rallies and notable appearances. "Every day, I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation. I am your voice," Trump said in a voice-over amid cheers. The White House also announced on X it had joined the popular social media platform. Though the White House is new to the platform, Trump launched his personal TikTok account @realdonaldtrump in June 2024, in an apparent effort to connect with young voters. His debut video went viral, generating millions of likes and views. His granddaughter, Kai Trump, also gained stardom on the app after her appearance at the 2024 Republican National Convention. She has posted viral behind-the-scenes videos of the White House and now has more than 3 million followers. The creation of Trump's personal account came nearly four years after he issued an executive order to ban the app unless it was sold to an American buyer, which was later blocked by a federal judge and never went into effect. Separately, at the beginning of 2024, Congress passed a law requiring ByteDance, the Chinese parent company of TikTok, to divest or face a ban. On his first day in office, the president signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to not enforce the TikTok ban for 75 days. Trump issued a second 75-day extension in April and a third 90-day extension in June to allow for negotiations. ByteDance must sell its U.S. operations by Sept. 17, unless another extension is issued.
