The following blog entry is written by Filippo Valle (Finn) the lead actor of FINALE and Bae Seul-Ki’s co-star. He tells us how he got involved with FINALE and about his impressions of his trip to Seoul.

The story of how I got to play Finn is indeed what an actor would like to happen every time he or she goes to meet with a director. I went into meeting to be interviewed for a smaller role and on the second meeting I was asked if I was interested in playing Finn.
"Are you kidding me?" I said "I wanted to play Finn from the first moment I read the script!" I was delighted, and after I got to know Rouchdi I was honored too, because I truly believe that Rouchdi is a special, a good hearted soul, very giving person and has something special to offer with this movie and I am glad to be part of it.
What impressed me the most on our first meeting is how meticulous and detailed Rouchdi is, which I love because I am like that myself. Hussain has to work twice as hard of course because he has to listen and translate to English quite a bit!!
I also spent a week in Seoul with the two of them to meet with the lead actress Bae Seul-Ki, the action director Jung Doo-Hong and the music composer Jo Yeong-wook.
Great experience in Seoul guys, and Jung Doo-Hong is the best. I was introduced to him one night at a restaurant but the funny thing is that every time he tried to walk to our table he would be stopped by all different people, they would just not leave him alone which made our wait longer and longer...
That guy is so busy with what he does, that knowing that he is thrilled to work with us on Finale gives me extra adrenaline.
The shooting date has been pushed back a couple of times now but" Man, I am so ready for this one, I can barely sleep at night!!!"
