I don’t know much about this title yet, but if this teaser trailer is any indication it will surely kick a sizeable portion of ass. I’ll update this post with more info as soon as I have more time to play around on the official website (www.ironsky.net).

[Update (5.12.2008):] Man, the more I watch this trailer the more I love it. That song is so moving. Crazyness. Anyway, the reason for this update is so that I can lay a bit more info regarding Iron Sky on you guys. This is the follow-up film to Energia Productions’, Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, which is credited as the most successful feature-length movie ever to be released solely online (atleast in it’s initial run). Iron Sky will supposedly be a dark comedy with production values similar to the SciFi films of the fifties. Think that sounds great? There’s more. Star Wreck was penned and filmed entirely in Finnish, and watching it with subtitles sucks so much ass it’s painful (though I swear that I’ll suffer through it when I get the time). Thankfully, this time around, Energia will be filming in English and — apparently — German. The script is being penned by Johanna Sinisalo, an award-winning Finnish author. One other tidbit that I read was that production has been in effect since 2006… and they’re still in pre-production! That would normally strike some as odd, but it supposedly took Energia over five years to complete Star Wreck, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Iron Sky doesn’t hit the interwebs for atleast another three years (though I would guess that it will take longer than that).

That’s it for now. Email me with other questions or check out the official website (which was down at the time of this blog entry).

Now, on to the teaser trailer for… Iron Sky:
