Iron Sky Trailer

Posted by kdawson on from the space-nazis-on-the-moon dept.

John Buckman from Magnatune clues us that the trailer for Iron Sky is available. We've been following the production for some time, as these are the same guys who brought us Star Wreck, the most successful feature-length Internet-distributed film of all time. That film was made by 3,000 people, has been downloaded 8 million times, is under a Creative Commons by-nd-nc license, and made good money both through DVD sales and through an eventual deal with Universal. Iron Sky is being made using Wreck-a-Movie — a collaborative film-making web site (also Creative Commons based) that grew out of the Star Wreck experience."

  1. A great idea for a movie by Plazmid · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's Nazis... IN SPACE! Twice as evil as regular Nazis, but with low gravity induced bone degradation!

    I, for on, welcome our new space nazi overlords... actually, they're not exactly new, they're the same as the old nazi overlords, but with more tinfoil

    Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home!

      Godwin's law. Most emphatically does NOT apply to space Nazis.

      You're thinking of Flash Godwin's Law.

      No, I think think you mean Plazmid's Addendum: As the popularity of Godwin's Law increases, the chances of its misapplication approache one. ;)

  3. Enough... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    We'll go see Iron Man already!

  4. That music was terrible by Sigvatr · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mars, God of War is more suiting to space Nazis, not emo chick music. Whoever made that choice of music should be sent to a concentration camp.

  5. Re:8 Million is a Lot by Tom · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously we can't honestly compare downloads to seats in theaters. Off course we can! If the RIAA can, so can we.

    Forget theaters. Those were 8 million DVD sales, at $16.99 each. Those bloody commis just swindled the movie industry out of 136 million bucks! And that's not even figuring in piracy!

  6. Re:Music in teaser not cogent by tachyonflow · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not only was the music track in the teaser desperately dull, it had nothing to do with the visuals. Lame. I like a good space Nazis communal movie as well as anyone else but don't forget to tell a story! Maybe if you play The Dark Side of the Moon while watching the movie, the music and the visuals will mysteriously match up. :)
