Here’s the trailer for the movie, which apparently is debuting soon at the Berlin Film Festival:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that simultaneously pushes my “holy crap that’s awesome” and “holy crap that’s terrible” buttons the way this one does.
I mean,
Moon Nazis vs. President Sarah Palin! Space shuttles with fold-out gun emplacements! Holy crap, I can’t believe someone made this movie! In both senses of that phrase.

I have been watching the development of this film for years. Space Nazis returning to Earth in their flying saucer fleet! Damn, that’s awesome (and funny as hell).

Oh, yes. I’ve been waiting for this since I saw the first teaser.

I’ll wait for the reviews just to make sure it’s not another _Sucker Punch_, but after that, I’m in.

A friend of mine had big plans to make a movie on almost the exact same premise, but struggled to get funding. Now that movie has to be abandoned, as this one muscled in first.
Looks like utterly ridiculous, hilarious fun.

If it IS like Sucker Punch I’m in!

Well, it looks more promising than _Captain America_.

Between this and **Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter** , I’m doing quite well for “get piss-ass drunk and watch a shitty movie” this summer. 😃

Define “muscled in.” You are aware that production of this movie was partially crowd-funded, right? They actually took proactive steps to “get” funding.

True that. The makers’ Star Trek/SF parody _Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning_ is awesome cheesy fun.

I don’t know the specifics. All I know is he had this script for as long as I’ve known him, which is since 1999, and he’d shot some test footage to put together a trailer to get people interested, but hadn’t managed to find any investors. And now the idea has been used, and so closely to his idea he has to move onto another big goofy idea.
Luckily he’s just finishing up his first feature film, something a little more straightforward, and has plenty of ideas ready for his next one, so it’s no big deal. But it’s a shame he didn’t get to make his “baby.”
(And on a personal note, I’d get paid for my contributions to the film if it ever got anywhere, so that’s off the table for me too)

He should have tried crowdsourcing. Although _Star Wrecks_ was really the selling point for the\* Iron Sky crew\*, their own trailer was awesome, too. It was what got me to donate, for example.

Looks awesome.
Fucking huge punctuation mistake in the trailer though. Grrr. [/Apostrophe Moon Nazi]

If there were no Nazis, it would be necessary to invent them.

Yeah, me too. I’m definitely waiting for the reviews to come in though.

It looks great, and I’m sure it will be crap.

From the same people who brought you [Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning](Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning). I’ve been waiting for Iron Sky for five years.

That wasn’t around when he was at the peak of searching for funding. Plus he was asking for considerably more than anyone’s likely to get from the internet, so it likely wouldn’t have achieved very much. Since crowdfunding has become more popular recently it may be an option for him to try (I’d like to try it for a potential production I’m planning), but most likely he’ll stick with slightly more legitimate funding routes. If his first movie succeeds, hopefully that will get him some clout and support.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

I agree that his movie will simultaneously be great and awful.

There is no way this will not be awesome.
