Star Trek Spoof Top Finnish Movie

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the local-club-accounts-for-2.8-million dept.

Dotnaught writes to tell us Reuters is reporting that the science fiction spoof "Star Wreck: in the Pirkinning" has become Finland's most viewed movie. From the article: " [...] relying on free distribution over the Internet to reach more than 3 million viewers in less than two months. "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" is a full-length feature in Finnish with English subtitles. It was made by a group of students and other amateur film makers with a bare-bones budget and a few home computers to create elaborate special effects."

  2. Star Wreck... by Donniedarkness · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's quite good, I'm told. I've not got access to broadband, but I hear that it will be coming to DVD (not that anyone expects to make any money off of it). I'll be getting it, and from what I've heard it's one of those movies that I would buy on DVD even if I DID have access to broadband. I encourage anyone who has any intrest in it to check it out.

    The reason a verb is necessary is that the word "Spoof" could be interpreted as the verb, making the headline sound like Star Trek is doing the spoofing.
