Where did this sucker come from? One glimpse at the synopsis and teaser and I’m immediately sold! IRON SKY, the crazy ass film about Space Nazis, is on the way folks with its very first production diary. No lie. The Arrow even reported on this himself (back in 2008) and has fallen completely off the radar since then. I mean zippo, nada; there’s no news. All of a sudden we’ve got a new teaser, new production diary and new info? Hell to the f*ck yes!
Watch the footage below and be owned. IRON SKY has begun shooting (officially) in Frankfurt, Germany. I’m guessing the footage we’re seeing is from a concept video. Director Timo Vuorensola and his team will shoot for four weeks before heading down to Australia to continue production.
How about a treat from the filmmakers themselves? Iron Sky Sneak Peek is service we have set up for producers, financiers and supporters of Iron Sky. We will publish new material on a monthly basis, following the progress of the movie from the idea to script, storyboards, animatics and so on. You can become a supporter and gain access to the first few minutes of Iron Sky.
You heard the man right folks. Head over right here to get that sneak peek! Although the film has taken so long to produce, word is that it’ll be another year before we’ll get a complete film. I don’t think it’ll take longer than that since support for the flick has hit an all time high.
For those of you with a question mark over your heads, here’s a pretty kick-ass synopsis that explains all: 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.
The year is 2018. Things are looking good for Renate on the Nazi moon base. For all her life, she has worked hard to be a productive member of the Fourth Reich, and now, her dreams are coming true. Renate is to travel to Earth on a secret mission with her fiancé, the handsome and high-ranking Klaus, a true Nazi down to his jackboots.
Their mission: to assassinate the president of the United States, Jenna Bush. Renate finds Earth not to be the pit of depravity Klaus had described. Suddenly, bombing this world back to the stone age doesn’t seem like a good idea at all. But the Nazi invasion is on its way, and the world is goose-stepping towards its doom.
