Last month, we ran a series of trailers for Iron Sky, a movie that didn't even exist yet. It was a promo reel that ended with, strangely enough, a solicitation for money. The trailer, about how Nazis fled in spaceships after WWII and have been living on the dark side of the moon and are now set to invade the Earth in flying saucers, was actually pretty damn entertaining and innovative. The project has a budget of $8.5 million, which is chump change by Hollywood standards, and the producers have been desperately trying to raise funds.
Well, it worked. Through a combination of investors and fan donations, Iron Sky has 90% of its budget squared away, its casting is near complete, and filming is set to begin in Germany and Australia later this year.
I think this whole concept has been pretty fascinating to follow (I confess, I donated to the cause...

Iron Sky Teaser 2 – The First Footage
The Story of Iron Sky
Towards the end of World War II the staff of SS officer Hans Kammler made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity. From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45 to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the dark side of the Moon. This base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right.

Time for our yearly update on the progress of the Outer Space Nazi's. Some new footage, some bombastic music, and of course the obligatory swastika space station. Yes you are still excited about this (see our extensive archives on this project.) You know it to be true.

Towards the end of World War II, in 1945, the SS officer Hans Kammler's staff made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity research. From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late '45, and they founded the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the so-called dark side of the Moon. The purpose of this base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right.
[A quick update on this from Cannes, where the director showed me an in-progress version of the trailer before it went online. First, for those of you skeptical whether the film will ever happen, they are going into production in September. This is a real movie, it's cast, they have the large majority of the budget and all of the cast in place. It's happening. Second, this particular footage comes from a test shoot originally intended to test their workflow from shooting on green screen through to finished product. It was originally intended for internal viewing only but came out so well that they decided to release it to the masses. Third, the 'Give Us Your Money' line at the end of the teaser isn't really a joke. To make up the small remaining shortfall in their budget, the producers are giving fans the chance to directly invest in the film, at minimum increments of one thousand Euros. Investment at different levels brings different benefits. Read the press release below and follow the links for more info. - Todd.]

If you are a Trekker who hasn't been won over by J.J. Abrams entertaining but hole-riddden Star Trek reboot, there is a tonic you can try. What's more, you don't need a prescription and all it will cost is a few megabytes of your monthly bandwidth allowance. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a splendid Finnish parody of Star Trek that can be legally downloaded off the Web for free or purchased on commercially released DVD in Scandinavia, Britain or Japan.
The making of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a classic example of the impressive quality that can be achieved despite a small budget and minimal equipmen when a group of skilled, dedicated and imaginative filmmakers get together. The movie was made over a period of seven years by a group of five students and unemployed people from Tampere, Finland. And it was originally done without the aid of a major studio.

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, a Finnish-made Star Trek spoof that is regarded as Finland's most successful film, has been commerically released on DVD in the UK just in time to cash in the release of J.J. Abrams much hyped Star Trek reboot.
The Finnish parody is the latest in a series of Star Wreck movie series. The seven movies in the series were made by a group of friends on a low budget and with minimal equipment. The series started with Star Wreck, a relatively short and simple animated film. Each subsequent film showed improvements in production values and later films included live actors. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a feature-length live-action film with special effects that are as good as those in many Hollywood productions.
