Go Iron Sky!
“Nazis in space, flying saucers, and Udo Kier. Iron Sky sounds like great fun, and its makers should be applauded for embarking on such a grand idea on an indie budget. Made for just £6.5 million, Iron Sky bring us lunar bases on the dark side of the moon and huge invading space armadas.
Iron Sky also represents a growing trend in independent filmmaking: crowdfunding. As well as traditional investors, the money for the film’s been raised via merchandise sales and pre-orders. It’s one example of a project that’s used social media to drum up interest and support - its trailer’s been a huge hit on YouTube, and Iron Sky’s due out in Japan, France and much of Europe in 2012, with UK and US release date still to be confirmed. Its Finnish premiere, meanwhile, is on the 4th of April.
The more support Iron Sky gets, the more quickly we’ll get to see it - there’s every reason, then, to visit the film’s website and find out how you can get involved.”
