Published Oct 14, 2025
Amsterdam, 7 October 2025 – Amsterdamned II is making film history. It is the first Dutch film to be released in IMAX®. Bigger, more exciting and more compelling than ever before. This morning, invited guests were treated to an exclusive preview: the trailer for Amsterdamned II was shown for the first time on the big screen at Pathé's Royal Theatre Tuschinski. Almost forty years ago, the film Amsterdamned turned the Netherlands and the international film world upside down. Dick Maas' classic set a new standard for Dutch cinema. Now, decades later, Maas returns with an unparalleled sequel: Amsterdamned II. With Huub Stapel and Holly Mae Brood in the leading roles, Amsterdam is once again shaken by murder and mystery. This time on a scale the capital has never experienced before. Amsterdamned II will be in cinemas from 4 December, including IMAX theatres throughout the Netherlands.

Intense experience - First Dutch film on IMAX

The film was shot in and around Amsterdam's canals, which once again form the backdrop for brutal murders and plenty of mystery. This time more intense than ever. Amsterdamned II is the first Dutch film to be shown in IMAX. Thanks to IMAX technology, the film really comes to life with razor-sharp images, powerful sound and a compelling cinema experience. This morning, guests were treated to an exclusive preview: the trailer for Amsterdamned II was shown for the first time on the big screen at Pathé's Royal Theatre Tuschinski.

 

Evert Nuijten, Content Acquisition Manager at Pathé: "We are extremely proud that Pathé, together with distributor Splendid Film B.V., has succeeded in giving this iconic film the first ever IMAX release for a Dutch film. Amsterdamned II, the long-awaited sequel to the 1988 classic, deserves the biggest screen and the most spectacular experience. During filming, we saw an opportunity, together with Splendid, to launch this production in an “un-Dutch” way – and we succeeded."

 

A city gripped by fear

In Amsterdamned II, Huub Stapel once again plays the role of detective Eric Visser, now retired. His quiet life is interrupted when the capital is once again shaken by a series of gruesome murders that are eerily reminiscent of a case from decades ago. The young, ambitious detective Tara Lee (Holly Mae Brood) asks Visser for help. Together, they embark on a dark quest through the canals of Amsterdam, where no one appears to be safe...

 

Amsterdamned II was produced by 2CFILM, Parachute Pictures, Guess WHO and Potemkino and is distributed by Splendid Film B.V.. Amsterdamned II will be showing in all cinemas, including IMAX theatres in the Netherlands, from 4 December.
